Better Together: A Book of Family

by Barbara Joosse Author, Anneke Lisberg Author and Jared Schorr Illustrator

A colorful, cut-paper illustrated celebration of human and animal families. Co-written by a long-time children's author and a zoologist, each spread starts with a single animal. Then a gatefold opens to reveal that the single animal is actually one of many, working together to solve a problem, from hunger to safety, to feeling lonely. At the end, we see how human families come together in similar ways to care for their little ones. Readers will see that every animal mentioned in the book is hidden somewhere in the last image. The very last spread offers interesting facts about the animals in the book, including the collective nouns for each. Included animals: zebras, bats, crows, meerkats, prairie dog, and rat pups.
