Monkeys Who Build Houses - Kevin Sullivan - Bog

This wonderful book introduces children to the story of evolution and explains how humans are related to absolutely every living thing that exists today. Using beautifully bright illustrations and breaking it down into bitesize text, this is the perfect book to deliver the big idea that life only started once on this planet, and every living thing comes from those early bacteria. Sometimes the best insights come from asking the right questions. This story is the story of a girl asking her father "why don't we have tails". From this seemingly simple question comes forth a discussion between father and daughter with the father answering the question only to spur new questions. Back and forth they go, and as they go, they unpack how humans are related to every living organism. In doing so they discuss the importance of taking care of our earth since after all, we are related to all of the animals, bugs, plants and bacteria out there and therefore we are all family.
