Why read it?

1 author picked Many as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I admire this lovely book for making a scientific concept both clear and inspiring to young readers. 

Many explains that we are surrounded all the time by many thousands of kinds of living things. Each one depends on others in a big, beautiful, complicated pattern—a pattern that also makes the world suitable for us.

From Curtis' list on empathy for the world’s creatures.
