A child steps outside and strolls along, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Rhythmic, rhyming text tracks his journey through a garden, meadow, and next to a brook, introducing a new color and animal found in that ecosystem with every turn of the page, transforming an ordinary walk into a feast for the senses.
Complete with material that explains the rich variety of wildlife and natural habitats found in the book, author Dianne White's playful text is paired with the vibrant collage artwork of Amy Schimler-Safford, making for an exciting read-aloud and guessing game for budding nature lovers.
Amy Schimler-Safford has illustrated several books for children, including Inky's Great Escape: How a Very Smart Octopus Found His Way Home, and Hidden City: Poems of Urban Life. She started her career in textile and surface design. She now illustrates children's books and lives on a lake in Georgia with her family and lots of country critters, all of whom provide Amy with a constant source of amusement and inspiration.
