Unwrapping Some Wonderful Illustrations for You to Enjoy
The Book
Lovely cut-paper illustrations greatly enrich the story of a little girl who is the youngest and smallest of the family. She misses out on many things that the older members get to participate in. Some examples: her early bedtime eliminates her from seeing magical shooting stars at night and being privy to picking the first apple of autumn. One morning she misses the siting of a deer in her backyard that everyone else gets to behold.
Not to be left out she tucks a sugar cube in her pocket and strikes out to find the deer all on her own. She scouts around but to her dismay no deer appears to her. Then to her delight she discovers something even more precious than a deer. Can you guess what she is privileged to encounter?
This heartwarming book encourages kids to explore and delight in the power of nature which is all around them if they just take the time to listen, observe and uncover its majesty. The illustrations and poetic-like words are captivating and engaging drawing the reader into the story. This would be perfect for a beginning reader. Connecting with animals and nature can help kids who feel left out or overlooked. I highly recommend this book.
