You Are a Wildlife Warrior! Saving Animals & the Planet

“Wildlife warriors learn to treasure/ each diverse environment on earth./ Deserts, forests, oceans, jungles:/ we know their meaning and their worth.” With cheerful rhymes, Irwin and Prasadam-Halls encourage kindness toward the planet and its inhabitants in this inviting eco–picture book. While text addresses the values and virtues of wildlife conservation, Kaulitzki’s watercolor and digital renderings showcase Irwin and her daughter doing the work of being a “wildlife warrior.” Yellow undertones bring a sunniness to scenes of the pair feeding zebras, caring for a koala, and the like. Occasional “Did you know?” segments include brief facts about featured creatures, supporting verse that endeavors, per an opening note, to “spark love and empathy toward all living things.” An author’s note concludes. Ages 4–8. (Feb.)
