With beautiful photography and extraordinary wildlife sequences, this original and heartwarming book shows children that animals have family relationships, too-some of them just like ours! Pictures of human families are set beside animal clans to show charming similarities, as lion cubs fight over a stick, flocks of birds travel together to warmer climates, and a mother monkey comforts her baby when he hurts himself. Children will delight in recognizing their own family dynamics in nature, and learning about members of the animal kingdom in an accessible and memorable new way.
