I caught sight of this and its partner book (Dear Children of the Earth) in an airport bookshop and through the shop window was transfixed by the beautiful illustrations. The theme of the book is that of the family of Earth's inhabitants - animals and people alike and how people need to remember that all of creation are interdependent. A wonderful message. I read it to a class of children after we had read 'Dear Children of the Earth' and they were fascinated by the book and very keen for more by the same author.
This book brought me to tears and captured my heart. July 31, 1999

This author has a magical way of bringing quiet truth and humanity to children and to indeed adults. The illustrations bring the miracile of the universe to us as well as the words which tell us that we all are connected. I fell in love with these humble animals as well as everyone I know who has seen the way Schimmel's caring hands have depicted them.
