  • and a diverse group of kids who love to do the same, shouting:

We play too / kim taw naw m na

At the end of the book, animals and children gently fall asleep after a fun day of playing outside, making this book a great bedtime story. A beautiful ode to the animals and humans we share our world with, We All Play belongs on every bookshelf.
