A small act of kindness can open the door to a whole world of discovery.
One warm morning, Rohan notices a cicada resting on the tire of his family's car. Before the car begins to move, he gently helps it fly safely away. That thoughtful moment becomes the beginning of a day filled with remarkable discoveries.
As Rohan explores his backyard and neighborhood pond-sometimes joined by his little sister, Anjali-he meets earthworms, roly-polies, snails, ants, ladybugs, honeybees, hummingbirds, butterflies, fish, frogs, ducks, dragonflies, coyotes, and more.
Along the way, Rohan discovers that even the smallest creatures have important jobs. Some help the soil, some protect plants, some pollinate flowers, and others help keep nature in balance.
Small Friends, Big Jobs is a warm, beautifully illustrated picture book about curiosity, compassion, nature, and learning to respect the living world around us.
Every little creature matters.
All living things deserve kindness.
No one is too small to matter.
