Book List: Animal Inspiration

Over the past year, I have written several posts about animal books. Today, with a stack of books beside me, I wanted to share a compiled list for you. Some of the books have text that can lead to a dance. Others are simply beautiful visuals to use as inspiration and springboards for projects.
