Written by a talented third-grader and illustrated by Sibert Award-winning artist, Susan L. Roth, "Plants and Animals" is the winner of StarWalk Kids Media's first "Young Author Award." The book explores the interdependence of plants and animals, showing that there would be no animals if there were no plants. Plants provide food for animals, but also shelter, camouflage, a place to grow, and the oxygen they breathe. Susan L. Roth's colorful collages bring to life plants and animals all over the world and celebrate their symbiotic relationships. A wonderful introduction to ecology for readers in grades K-2. "The extraordinary thing that happened was the collaboration, one to one, between Violetta and myself. It was a genuine collaboration, and our age difference did not enter into the equation." -Susan L. Roth, illustrator
