🐾 Happy National Wildlife Day! 🐾

Ask any child about their favorite animal and watch their whole face light up. That wonder is exactly what today is about. When kids learn about wildlife, they build empathy, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility for the world around them.

Cozy up with one of our favorite animal stories:

🐰 Ages 0–1: Baby Touch and Feel Animals by DK
🦦 Ages 2–3: I Love You Like No Otter by Rose Rossner
🐨 Ages 4–5: The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright
🐸 Ages 6–8: Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner

If your little one is a hands-on learner, spot some wildlife on a nature walk or draw your favorite animal! 🌿
