In the suburbs, a red fox encourages his cubs to take their first steps towards independence. In Botswana, an elephant matriarch must trust the youngest member of the herd to find water.

This charming collection of five beautifully illustrated stories celebrates the incredible bonds between animal families as they navigate the challenges of survival in the wild. With themes of conservation, climate change and rewilding woven throughout, and non-fiction pages after every story, each tale is as educational as it is heartwarming.

Animal Families by Alice Harman is a delightful book where warm storytelling pairs perfectly with Becca Hallโ€™s adorable illustrations, making this mix of a comic book and picture book a delight for young readers.
