You can tell that an enormous amount of love and care went into the creation of this book and it deserves all of the many accolades it has received since its release.
Sami Bayly has created a one of a kind book that anyone of any age can enjoy. It is so much more than a kids book. It's a book that will teach you to appreciate animals in a much deeper and more meaningful way. A lesson sorely needed in the world.
