What can animals teach us about life and love?
The Smart Dolphin, the Peaceful Swan, the Brave Ant, the Compassionate Elephant and the Wise Owl are just a few of the delightful characters you'll meet in the beautifully written and illustrated Animals of Love.
This large-format children's book unfolds nineteen vignettes that open a child's mind and heart to lessons and love from nature and animals. Each of the wonderful and inspiring creatures featured here has its own special story of good character, unique personality, and kindness.
Accompanying each story is a vibrant and captivating full-page color illustration by Philo Barnhart, the world-famous animator known for his unforgettable images in Disney movies such as Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Secret of NIMH and other timeless Disney films, toys and books.
Barbara Y. Martin, award-winning author of best-selling books on personal growth, has turned to her love of animals and their spiritual qualities to create this meaningful work. As Martin says, "Animals serve the divine in so many ways, but mainly by the giving of themselves. Children gain strength and support from this miraculous part of nature."
