Cuddled and Carried / Consentido Y Cargado - Paperback

by Dia L. Michels (Author), Mike Speiser (Illustrator)

Beautiful bilingual book celebrates the bond between parent and child in the animal kingdom

Babies--whether in snowy dens, warm lagoons, cozy nests, or living rooms--are carried and cuddled, nurtured and nuzzled. Stunning images and gentle verse will capture the curiosity of even the youngest readers as they see how animal mothers tend to their cubs, pups, calves, and chicks.

Beautiful images introduce the reader to attachment in the natural world. Watching mothers lend a paw, wing, flipper, or hand to care for their young fosters empathy, kindness, and compassion. Supplemental back matter and a free Teacher's Guide helps parents, librarians, educators, and healthcare providers creatively describe caretaking, while introducing a range of early science concepts.
