Our Big Family: The Family of the Earth by Peter Marsh is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates the deep connections we share with animals across the globe. Through simple, powerful language and stunning real-world images, children learn that animals—just like humans—grow up in loving families, form friendships, share, play, and rest. From cuddling polar bears and snack-sharing monkeys to playful lion cubs and unlikely animal friendships, this book offers a beautiful, compassionate message: all creatures belong to one great family—the family of Earth.

It's a perfect book for sparking conversations about kindness, nature, and our role in protecting the planet. A wonderful read for families, classrooms, or any young nature lover.
