Focusing on the intricate relationships between children and animals, this book delves into how their lives intersect and influence one another within shared environments. It addresses the significance of these interactions against the backdrop of global ecological issues, incorporating more-than-human theory to highlight the interconnectedness of all beings. Through detailed narratives, it illuminates the profound ways in which children and animals co-exist and shape each other's experiences.

The authors use stories they collected during a collaborative study to offer a range of possibilities for alternative childhood pedagogies. Cutting edge, yet practical; detailed in its analysis, yet inspiring, this book is a boon to the field of early childhood and primary education studies.

This book presents research exploring the potential for postfoundational theories to revitalize discussions in early childhood education. In the past two decades, postfoundation theories (e.g., postmodern, poststructural, feminist, postcolonial, etc.) have revolutionized the field of early childhood education, but at the same time, little has been written about the value and potential of this movement within the context of Canada. Postfoundational theories have the potential to disrupt normalizing early childhood education discourses that create and maintain social inequities, and to respect differences and diversities. Given the importance of diversity in Canada, it seems relevant to explore further how postfoundational theories might transform early childhood education.
