Wenn Tiere gemeinsame Sache machen
Gerstenberg Verlag
Some pictures from my first nonfictional children's book "Wenn Tiere gemeinsame Sache machen". Published in January 2017 at Gerstenberg Verlag.
The book deals with symbioses in the animal kingdom.
The small suckerfish helps a large sea turtle keep clean, a bird called a water thick-knee protects the eggs of the dangerous Nile crocodile, and the pitcher plant offers shelter to the woolly bat. Why these animals and plants join forces and mutually secure their survival is the subject of Lena Schaffer’s non-fiction picture book debut. She discovered examples among animals all over the world: the coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific, Africa, and Madagascar, or a central European meadow are habitats and settings for these amazing animal friendships.
