Becoming a Good Creature
Becoming a Good Creature | Sy Montgomery
6 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
School is not the only place to find a teacher. In this picture book adaptation of Sy Montgomery and Rebecca Greens New York Times best-selling How to Be a Good Creature, learn the many surprising lessons animals have to teach us about friendship, compassion, and how to be a better creature in the world. Sy Montgomery has had many teachers in her life: some with two legs, others with four, or even eight! Some have had fur, feathers, or hooves. But theyve all had one thing in common: a lesson to share. The animals Sy has met on her many world travels have taught her how to seek understanding in the most surprising ways, from being patient to finding forgiveness and respecting others. Gorillas, dogs, octopuses, tigers, and more all have shown Sy that there are no limits to the empathy and joy we can find in each other if only we take the time to connect. Based on the New York Times best-selling adult memoir, Sy Montgomery and Rebecca Green's beautiful, friendly guide is for readers young and old who wish to be better creatures in the world. Go ahead, pass it on.

“Don't be afraid. In India, I met tigers. In Africa, Lions.“

I would definitely use this in my classroom as a way to show that animals have meaning in the world. This would be really good for a science lesson.

This book is a moving, true story about a woman who learned from animals by researching them and evaluating them. She went to all different countries and showed the world that animals are not as scary as you think we are.

Okay, I think I love the picture book more than the memoir it was based on. 🫢
This one actually mentioned a few animal encounters the memoir did not, and of course, all the art was in colour. Really happy to get to see more of Rebecca Green's work.
So wholesome! And, perhaps because of the target demographic, a lot less sad moments than the memoir!
