A vibrant interactive picture book about connecting with nature, wherever you are – perfect for budding nature-lovers.
In the city, "nature" can seem far away and hard to find... But nature is all around you! When you stop, look closely and listen carefully, you can find it everywhere.
Follow two children on a gentle walk through their city as they begin to notice the small, hidden wonders of the wild – from the birds singing in the trees, to the plants pushing through the pavement. With lyrical text from biologist and Springwatch presenter Gillian Burke, and vibrant artwork by Rong Pham and Vinh Nguyen, this is a story about curiosity, connection and belonging to the natural world.
Perfect for fans of Slow Down, this thoughtful non-fiction picture book encourages children to:
- Look for the wildlife on their doorstep
- Slow down, observe and cherish the world around them
- Feel curious, calm and connected
With gentle search-and-find elements throughout and mindful nature activities at the back, this is a book that readers aged 4+ will love poring over and return to again and again.
The mindful text is calming and really does encourage youngsters to slow down, or perhaps stop and observe what surrounds them. The illustrations are a perfect complement to the verbal message, the seek and find challenge beneath each location spread encourages deeper engagement and the book ends with a spread of activities to try. -- Jill R Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
