Fair skin, dark skin-big, strong, tall or small- it really should not make any difference at all! Long hair, short hair-why should we care? We all still need to breathe the same air! If we were all created the same, life would be boring! In the delightfully illustrated picture book Animal Friends for You!, poet Scooter Rayburn and artist Criss Sledge work together to bring to life charming animals who teach children of all ages valuable life lessons about the importance of diversity and embracing others-no matter how different they are from us. At play in harmony with nature and with one another in scenes from around the world-including Africa, the Arctic, Australia, the North American forests, and the Land of Mythology and Faerie Tales-the animals overlook race, religion, gender, age, and species. They soon discover that true friendship is built on what is inside, not the outside. Animal Friends for You! shares the important message that being kind and friendly to others makes the world go around and encourages everlasting harmony among all of the earth's creatures.
