![]() ![]() Saving the Ghost of the Mountain: An Expedition Among Snow Leopards in Mongolia by Sy Montgomery, photographs by Nic Bishop Feel free to suggest books in the comments- I am especially interested in reading, supporting, and promoting authors and illustrators of color! Happy reading, fellow primates and bookworms! The books are in no particular order, and the list is definitely biased toward books about primates…sorry, not sorry! I will add to the list as I continue to read. Here is a list of children’s books about human relationships with animals and/or nature that I have read and enjoyed. In fact, I believe it is important to address these issues early and often to raise compassionate citizens of our planet… How do we think about nature? What can animals teach us? How can we interact with them in a way that is fulfilling for everyone? What are we doing to threaten animal lives and habitats, and what can we do to change that? These topics are not too advanced for children. I enjoy the books myself, but I also love sharing my favorites and using the stories as opportunities to discuss what I am most passionate about: the human-animal connection. ![]() I buy and borrow and read children’s books even though I don’t have kids (yet) and even when I’m not teaching other people’s kids. ![]()
