Description
Animal parents shower their little ones with love in so many unique ways. Doves coo and dolphins whistle, while penguins huddle with their chicks for warmth and mountain goats shield their kids' falls. Eye-catching collage illustrations and a lyrical text invite readers to explore animal behavior around the globe and celebrate the universal nature of a caregiver's love.
