Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley, and the author/designer for a copy of this book to read in exchange for honest feedback. I was immediately drawn to this book due to its beautiful & appealing cover and the promise of nature stories. I am not familiar with natural stories from across the world, so I am approaching this book with an open mind hoping to learn more about cultural tales with a nature twist.

Like I said, the cover is gorgeous. I really like the thematic images. They're modern & have a cute color scheme. The inside contents are just the same. Very cute and the colors/images are enjoyable. The contents are separated into themes such as: Flowers, Fruits, and Seeds, Wind & Weather, Creatures Great and Small, Sun Moon & Stars, Leaf and Trees, etc. The tales under the categories show the country origin in parenthesis, so you can see that there is a good variety of origins. For example, the first category is Flowers, Fruits & Seeds and has stories from Spain, China, North America, France, Czech Republic, Peru, and Scandanavia. The stories range in length but most aren't very long. Each include images that I liked.

All in all, I think this would be a cool book to give to someone who 1) likes short stories, 2) likes cultural examples of stories from around the world.
