Near and far, hardcover/ming tan

Its not easy being separated from your friends.

Like most animals, we are social creatures.

Near and Far takes a kids view of how different animals socialise and communicate.

Nature is full of clever ways to maintain closeness without physical contact.

A fun and entertaining book to inspire us to have fun, be creative, and share experiences - even if we cant be in the same place together.
