This beautiful book was the brainchild of Lynne Chitty who has been working on the project for over a year. Since January 2021 she has been joined by wildlife artist Gary Hodges to help compile and oversee the book production. The book is being designed by Paul Whymant-Morris, who has over 30 years experience of working with top agencies, big name pop stars and numerous books, all designed with care and attention to detail. The book will be printed in the UK by Emmerson Press who have supported wildlife charities for over three decades. They are generously donating their printing costs, saving this project at least £8,000.

"The words and images in this fascinating book will transport us all into a world where kindness

and beauty can embrace us all – if we open our eyes and our hearts."

"My favourite animals to watch are sloths and sifakas. Who could fail to love a three toed sloth with its Lone Ranger mask, Harpo Marx grin and under active metabolism, and the sight of sifakas bounding and leaping sideways never ceases to make me slowly sink to the ground in silent merriment"
