Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about the world around them, such as why plants need water or if a pet feels the same things they do. This foundational science guide uses simple language to help children understand the common threads that connect all living things: from the flowers in the garden to the animals in the park and the children themselves. It is an ideal choice for fostering a sense of connection to nature and a basic understanding of biological needs. At its heart, the book explores the theme of universal connection. By highlighting that all living things share basic requirements like air, food, and growth, it builds a sense of empathy and wonder for the environment. Designed for early readers aged 4 to 7, this short book is perfect for building confidence in literacy while satisfying a young child's natural scientific curiosity without overwhelming them with complex jargon.
