This book would be perfect to read to a very adventurous kid who fills their pockets with rocks, picks up insects, and loves being in nature. The graphics help tell the story, they are simple, and a perfect read for parents to their children.

This is a lovely board book that sparks the imagination of a child from seeing the world that we take for granted up close, such as ants and leaves and blades of grass. Instead of being a tiny, helpless creature, our narrator sees themselves as a giant. And the journey is often reverent to the critters around us that we take for granted. The illustrations were vibrant with earth tones and jewel tones. It was a gentle read that will have the reader return to enjoy the escapade.

This was a beautifully illustrated picture book that celebrates growth, curiosity, and the wonders of nature. Through poetic storytelling and captivating artwork, it invites young readers to explore the world around them with imagination and wonder.

Each small step into the backyard garden reveals new discoveries, and as the child's imagination soars, the world grows larger and more magical. This book is a reminder of the importance of curiosity and exploration for a child, as well as the bond between parent and child.

Simple, sweet and perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! All opinions are my own.

This book follows a young child's adventure through the outdoors. Beautiful, thoughtful illustrations capture the joy of discovery and exploring through the character's eyes. This is one of my favorite picture books of the year so far, and I'm excited to use it during my outdoor programs.

This is a sweet story of a child who goes on a walk through the world and uses his imagination with the things that he sees. I love the simplicity of the story as it gives the reader time to ponder what is on each page. What might be a tree truck is an elephant and what is a group of tadpoles is "a hundred eyes watching me". The pictures are whimsical with lots of detail but not overwhelming to look at. This book would be a wonderful way to inspire preschoolers or kindergarten before taking a nature walk and then have them share what things they "saw".
