It's pretty impossible. The truth is, everyone needs a little help from someone, or something.All living things in the natural world - from the trees and the bees to the dogs and the frogs - depend on one another. There wouldn't be a coral reef without the help of all the fish that have made it their home. Rainforests are only filled with lush and colourful plants because of the birds and mammals who eat and scatter their seeds. Acacia trees have a whole army of ants to protect them, while elephants rely on egrets to keep them parasite-free. And it's because of bees, wasps and butterflies that we have tasty fruit and vegetables to eat.Created by writer and artist Marina Ruiz, beautifully illustrated scenes reveal the wonderful connections and cooperation in nature. Narrative storytelling links every spread to the next, exploring how even the tiniest relationship has a big impact in keeping our planet's huge and complex web balanced.
