Celebrate perfect partnerships in nature with this fascinating rhyming picture book exploring symbiosis with vibrant illustrations and fun facts that will delight young animal enthusiasts.
All over the world, unlikely pairs of plants and animals work together.
Under the sea, the stinging anemone protects the boxer crab in exchange for food. In the desert, the woodpecker shelters inside a tall saguaro cactus and then distributes its seeds so more will grow.
Near the water, the mighty hippopotamus stays pest-free because of the hungry egret that rides comfortably on its back. Even humans have to do our part—we depend on Earth for our survival, so we must do our best to protect our amazing planet.

illustrated by Diana Sudyka
Beach Lane Books
Enticing and beautiful. The book concludes with a spread of “tools and tips” for becoming a bird watcher and even a citizen scientist.
- The Horn Book, starred review
"Sudyka’s opaque watercolors are as engaging as the text. Bird-finding made easy and attractive."
- Kirkus
"A thoroughly charming introduction to bird behavior, and Sudyka’s resplendent watercolor and gouache illustrations fill the pages with movement and onomatopoeic songs."
