"Lush full-colour illustrations from Engel fill every page, accompanied by Barr's sensitively-written text about the importance of making space for nature to improve quality of life for all creatures. A crucial book for children's understanding of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, and all the joy a connection to nature can bring."
