Finn is in a horrible mood and doesn't want to talk about it, but after some persuading, agrees to go for a hike with Grandpa. Throughout their forest walk, they see many different things: big, strong trees with networks of roots growing underneath, still water with schools of fish swimming below, and an expectant bird with eggs nestled under her. Grandpa explains that people also have hidden feelings beneath the surface, and despite appearances, may be feeling the say way you do.
"Beneath is a rare picture book that truly meets both young readers and adults where they are."--BookPage, starred review;"No need to scratch beneath the surface of this text to find the glint of gold. It's apparent right from the start."--Kirkus, starred review;"A poignant picture book that encourages [us] to remember that much of life is hidden from view."--The Wall Street Journal;"There's plenty [in this original picture book] to discuss on various levels.... The inviting digital art works seamlessly with the well-worded text."--Booklist;"Doerrfeld subtly guides readers....negative spaces within the softly textured but vibrantly hued digital illustrations depict X-Ray-like perspectives of the items "beneath" each scene..." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books;"A subtle message buoyed by thoughtful...reveals."--Publishers Weekly
