Overview

Totally True Animal Facts is an illustrated romp through the wonderfully unpredictable world of animals, where science and imagination meet in the middle and make up a secret handshake. Each creature in this collection is introduced with some genuine scientific facts and one that is a more silly fact (but Totally True!) The book celebrates the joy of curiosity. Logical, if surprising, animal characteristics are taught alongside less logical, but also surprising traits of each animal, allowing the reader to look closely, think critically, and laugh freely. With each page, we aer encouraged to. practice observation, inference, and the important life skill of delighting in the unexpected. Author and illustrator Kit Hunney fills these pages with warm watercolor and crisp lines that capture both the charm and the strangeness of everyday wildlife. Kit's work often focuses on the magic hidden in ordinary moments. (If you can call a stubborn, calligraphy-writing chameleon ordinary). Kit believes that nature is full of tiny surprises, and this book brings that belief to life with humor, tenderness, and a wink. The tone is gentle, quirky, and a little mischievous, encouraging readers to wonder about the real habits of the animals around them, while also giving them permission to imagine wildly. The true facts are engaging and accessible, and the silly facts are designed to spark giggles, conversation, and creative thinking. Whether shared at bedtime, used in a classroom, or enjoyed independently by an eager young naturalist, Totally True Animal Facts is a celebration of learning, laughter, and paying attention. It blends real information with playful invention to remind us that the world is both knowable and full of mystery-and that curiosity is a wonderful place to live.

Author Information

Kit Hunney is an artist and storyteller who is excited to explore this world that is full of small wonders hiding in plain sight. With a paintbrush in hand and a mind that wanders toward the curious, the silly, and the delightfully unexpected, Kit creates works that invite readers to slow down and notice the magic woven into everyday life. Her watercolor and ink illustrations focus on the quiet or loud delight of small things. She honors these animals with mischievous personalities, creatures caught in unguarded moments, and bits of nature that reveal more character than one might expect. Through humor, warmth, and a touch of gentle absurdity, Kit's books invite little children and big children to celebrate the delightful strangeness of the natural world. When not painting, Kit spends her time exploring the quiet corners of nature, gathering inspiration from overlooked details. Why is that squirrel so squirrelly? How did that crow learn to sing like that? When did these rocks get here? These are questions that Kit yearns to explore and answer in her own voice. She believes these tiny, easily missed moments shape the way we understand the world, and that we all deserve stories that honor our instinct to look closely. Kit lives with a habit of turning daydreams into pictures, and hopes each book sparks a little wonder, a little mischief, and the reminder that even the smallest things can be extraordinary.
