i didn't think the art style for half of the book was as cute as the birds and the book cover

Ini jenis buku yang rasanya belum pernah dibuat penulis lokal : buku sains tapi disajikan dalam bentuk haiku. Ada puisi tentang kawanan serigala, kawanan gajah namun juga simbiosis mutualisme pada burung unta dan zebra. Nah lho, kebayang gak?
Plus lagi ditambah ilustrasi cantik pada tiap halamannya.

Read with my 11 month old- a beautifully illustrated nature based book that would grow with the child. This was a library book but I would definitely check it out for him again as he grows a story he would get more and more out of it each time. Tbh it’s also great for adults and I learnt a lot too!

Bud loved pointing out the cut outs of the birds in the sky which changed as the book progressed.

This children's book is gorgeous and actually interesting for an adult to read. I loved the little factoids about how different animals work together in harmony. I thought it was not only beautiful but quite profound. Amazed that anyone would give this less than 5 stars.

A lovely book on Togetherness in the animal world. Lovely illustrations and the use of the Haiku poem structure makes this a worthwhile read for children and adults alike.

Together is a highly original, gorgeously illustrated, non-fiction picture book about animals working together and supporting each other in various ways.

With beautiful collage-like illustrations and a die-cut cover, this stunning book uses haiku poetry and simple facts to show readers a fascinating array of animal partnerships. A truly unique and insightful picture book.
