Summary: Author, Sy Montgomery, has written a beautiful book celebrating experiences with
nature and animals and what can be learned from those experiences. The book starts out with the
words "school is not the only place to find a teacher" and from there we are off to different parts of
the world where we learn from different animals. We learn to respect others, not to be afraid, to wait
patiently, make our own families, learn forgiveness, find common ground and to trust others. Each
of these themes is illustrated with wonderful pictures by Rebecca Green. Young children will learn
to respect not only animals but one another from the words and illustrations in this book.
Straight Talk for Librarians: A great book for discussing respect for all living things.
