What a warm, gentle, and vital message this U.K. import radiates as it tells kids to "fly!" and how wonderful for children to feel embraced by nature at all times, day and night, in all seasons, and in all kinds of weather. . . . A lovely invitation to children to see themselves as part of the larger world around them.
Description
Meditative and enchanting, this beautifully illustrated picture book encourages us to explore, connect, and find wonder in nature.
There's a bird outside your window
with a song that's full of sky,
and it wonders why you stay inside
when you are free to fly?
You Are Part of the Wonder is a tranquil celebration of nature, mindfulness, and joy.
Reviews
Doyle (Dreams for Our Daughters) and Teckentrup (My Little Book of Big Questions) open their lilting, lushly visualized exhortation about the natural world with something of a dare . . . imperative rhyming couplets invite each to contemplate, explore, and observe the outdoors.
