Thank you to NetGalley for providing an audio copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

Based on the beautifully written book I can only imagine the pictures would be just as stunning. I only wish they would have sent some with the audio version. The book itself used amazing beautiful and creative imagery. I loved it and got lost in it. A must have for both home and school libraries. Really positive, focused on hope and dreams. Both big ideas and little things we can all do to make a change as long as we do it together. This being an audio book was great. I really liked the narrator.

Overall, it was a great listen. Only about 5 mins to hear the whole book. I would love to read more by this author.

Note- I received a copy of the audio for review. I have not seen the illustrations for this book. I hope they are as gorgeous as the cover!

A very short book about how humans can accomplish anything if they work together. While the book covers a variety of topics, the main one is climate change.

The audio- the sound effects are great. I am not a fan of the narrator though. There were times she mumbled. She had a lisp at times.

This nonfiction children's picture book, targeted at 4- to 8-year-olds, is written by an environmentalist and prolific author. It's both a love letter to our planet and a call to action about our collective responsibility and ability to protect and care for the planet. It delivers its message concisely and effectively.

I've placed a hold on the print edition from my library so I'll be able to enjoy the illustrations accompanying the text.

Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio (from Henry Holt and Company), for the audio ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review. Publication is expected April 19.

The audio for this book is very theatrical. I think it would be a great read-along pairing with the book. I've only seen the cover for the book so far, but I can see this as a good pairing.

We Are Better Together is a beautiful book about all we are capable of creating when we work together and the importance of community. It is a pretty short, but powerful book. The audiobook has wonderful narration by Greer Morrison and immersive sound effects. I would love to see the children's book. This will be great for promoting discussion in classrooms or libraries.

This is such a rich experience of sound with an excellent message of inclusion and community! I enjoyed the narrator's voice while they read the story and only wished that I could see the book at the same time because the cover is so great, the pictures in the book must be wonderful as well. This would make a great picture book/CD kit for the library.
