Baby animals—often clumsy and vulnerable, sometimes funny, but always touching—amuse us and move us at the same time. This book provides a highly original look at these young creatures in their natural settings, in all their diversity. These photos of both wild and domestic animals reveal not only the extraordinary moment of birth, but also the first steps. Whether they grow up quickly or remain highly dependent, all these creatures exhibit complex and fascinating bonds with their parents and siblings. After entering the world, they go on to learn about their surroundings in their own way through exploration, experiment, and play, while also confronting the dangers of their environment.
