Discover life lessons in the secret superpowers of animals, revealed in this enchantingly illustrated children's book by bestselling author Kate Siber.

Animals have a lot to teach us, if only we open our eyes. From the slow-moving sloth to the playful dolphin, every living creature has unique skills, strengths, and qualities that we can learn from. The Hidden Wisdom of Animals invites kids ages 8 and up to explore and celebrate over 40 animals from around the world through warm, lyrical 100-500-word reflections, each focusing on a single animal and the outstanding trait it embodies.

The book's stirring lessons are enhanced by its stunning design, featuring a foil-accented cover and captivating illustrations by Kaitlynn Copithorne. Within its colorful pages, explore how:

  • Owls listen deeply
  • Jellyfish go with the flow
  • Ants create great communities
  • Squirrels plan ahead
  • Fireflies shine from within
  • And much more

Blending eye-popping facts, brilliant science, anecdotes, and, where appropriate, myths and legends from cultures across the globe, from American Indigenous traditions to African lore to European folk beliefs, The Hidden Wisdom of Animals inspires a more reflective, personal relationship with wildlife and shows how animals can teach, inspire, and encourage us in our own lives.

Transporting kids from their screen-filled lives to a magical world of natural wonder, this book offers a deeper, more meaningful way to connect with nature.
