Book Synopsis

Every animal on earth has its own unique character—the slow sloth, the burrowing mole, the towering giraffe, the huge but flexible elephant. In nine vivid portrayals of different animals, Craig Holdrege shows how an animal's features are interconnected and reveal the animal as a whole.

This insightful book presents readers with a fresh view of animals and nature by addressing each animal individually and succinctly asking, ‘who are you?’. This leads to a ground-breaking understanding of animal development and evolution as creative processes in which the animals are active participants. These revelations can help us find a way to learn from nature, rather than work against it, in order to improve the health of the planet in the future.

An insightful and inspiring guide which encourages readers to change the way they think about animals, in order to understand how we can learn and grow from them.
