". . . combines simple, poetic text with a "big idea"--in this case, the idea that death is a natural part of our lives and that many species experience sadness and mourning when their loved ones are sick and dying. From elephants to killer whales, parrots to bonobos, lemurs to humans, many animals have rituals to commemorate their loved ones and to help them through difficult times"--Provided by publisher.

"This thought-provoking book uses current science to show how human beings thrive through our connections to the plants, animals, and other living things that surround us"--Publisher.

Helps readers understand their impact on the environment by revealing the surprising links between objects, materials, and activities.
