ADELAIDE, Australia - AussieJournal -- See the animal kingdom with new eyes. Acclaimed author Rebecca May Smith unveils a tender journey into animal emotions with Why Elephants Cry and Pigs Sing: How Animals Love, Grieve, and Feel—Just Like You!, published by Living In Wellness on 14th July 2025.

Move beyond simple facts. Through exquisite lyrical verse and captivating imagery, young readers discover stunning parallels to the human heart, including:

The Silent Grief of Giants: Witness an elephant tracing the air with her trunk, "whisper[ing] of love from long, long ago," her tears a testament to enduring bonds and the ache of loss.

The Lullabies of the Muddy: Feel the warmth as a mother pig hums to her piglets, her voice "a blanket so cozy and near" as they drift safely to sleep.

Joy Unleashed: Experience the unbridled, tail-wagging ecstasy of a dog greeting their beloved human.

Forgiveness in a Touch: See a bonobo mend a friendship after a squabble, learning that "one soft kiss can fix what a hundred words break."

Squeals of Delight: Tumble with giggling rats whose "SNORT so absurd, is sunshine shaped into a squeaky-toy word!"

The Call to Share: Hear the hen's triumphant "CLUCKADOODLE!" call, summoning the flock to a feast, calling, "'Come share!' shows that we care."

Shelter from the Storm: Stand strong with the cow and sheep, woven together against the wind, embodying the idea of "we lean on our loved ones, and peace fills our minds."

Songs Across the Deep: Be swept away by a whale's thousand-mile underwater lullaby, a melody rippling through the ocean to say, "I'm right beside—can you hear?"

"We often teach children about animals," says Smith, "but rarely do we pause to feel alongside them. This book is an invitation into the shared heartbeat of life – the universal experiences of love, comfort, fear, joy, and sorrow that transcend fur, feathers, or skin. When a child understands that an elephant grieves deeply or a pig sings with pure love, it plants a seed of profound empathy and connection that blossoms into respect for all living beings."
