The Hidden Wisdom of Animals: Surprising Things We Can Learn from Nature

The Hidden Wisdom of Animals is a very different kind of non-fiction animal title for children. The animals that are around us are more astonishing, miraculous, and incredible than we can ever imagine, and in this passionate, inspiring book bestselling author Kate Siber explores and celebrates over 40 animals from around the world through warm, lyrical 100–500 word reflections that focus on one amazing quality or skill that the animal embodies – and that we can learn from. 

It blends eye-popping fact, brilliant science, anecdote, and, where appropriate, myth and legend from cultures across the globe, from US indigenous traditions to Asian lore to European folk belief – inviting readers into a more reflective, personal relationship with the wildlife they might see around them every day –  and to discover how animals can teach, support or inspire us in our own lives.
