A joyous celebration of animals and all the ways they play, from the award-winning, critically acclaimed author and illustrator of Birdsong, Julie Flett. Animals love to play! In this sweetly simple and gorgeously illustrated picture book, Julie Flett offers a joyful romp through nature with an abundance of wild animals: birds who chase and chirp, whales who swim and squirt, and other familiar creatures from across North America. Animals Play shares the Cree teaching of wahkohtowin--interconnectedness and play--and includes Cree names for each animal at the end. A beautiful ode to the creatures we share our world with, Animals Play belongs on every nature shelf.
