Author Description

In this book, your child will meet Andam, an age/gender/race-blending peer, who has much in common with myriad other animals – vertebrates and invertebrates, animals that swim, stroll, fly, climb, and crawl – and yet, as a human animal, is not exactly like any of those other animals. These themes – the simultaneity of similarity and difference and the landscape of creatures of which humans are a part – are illustrated here as a tool for you to use as you nurture your child’s potential for kindness and critical thinking.
