A howling wolf, a stalking tiger, a playful panda, a dancing bird – pairing the stunning photography of National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore with the delicate poetry of Newbery award-winning author Kwame Alexander, this lush picture book celebrates the beauty, diversity, and fragility of the animal world.
Featuring more than 40 unique animal portraits, the pages invite kids to explore each creature's markings, textures, and attributes in stunning detail, while calling on all of us to help protect each and every one. Three picture-packed gatefolds inside showcase even more familiar and exotic species. These images are part of Sartore's lifelong project to photograph every animal in the world, with special attention given to disappearing and endangered species.
First, are you kidding me with this cover...supreme cuteness overload!!! A baby sloth?!?!? Come on...so adorable!

This book is sheer joy, love and smiles from cover to cover!!! This book focuses on the need to conserve the beauty of nature, to embrace the all the animals and to take care of the world we live in.
