Description
A stunning debut picture book that teaches children about the beauty to be found in the smallest creatures and simplest pleasures nature has to offer.
On an ambling walk, a child discovers they hold the promise of larger worlds-forests and meadows-in the palm of their hand. An acorn becomes a tree within a woodland wonderland. A grain of sand becomes a sandcastle in a kingdom of imagination. By exploring nature's tiniest details, they learn even small things, including them, contain infinite potential.Critic Reviews
“"Everything in this story is connected to everything else. Every item in the book, even a grain of sand, is as beautiful in both its simplicity and complexity. Readers will close this book loving their small part of the world a little more."-- Kirkus Reviews”
"This is an excellent addition to libraries that have an active children's programming calendar, especially one that emphasizes tactile experiences which this book so colorfully explores. The overarching theme of a child's endless need to know more is a welcome message to all curious kids, particularly those who are active in the outdoors. An appreciation of nature is sure to follow any reader who ambles through this tale."--School Library Journal
