Through gentle questions, the text asks young readers to consider what they see and experience in the forest through the seasons -- animal tracks, tiny creatures in the soil, birds soaring in the sky above, towering trees, shade and dappled sunlight -- drawing local connections alongside those of a global sensibility.

Stunningly beautiful illustrations show a child and grownup exploring the forest, appreciating its beauty, learning its secrets and enjoying moments of wonder, all first steps toward developing a lifelong awareness of our interconnectedness to the Earth and our impact on the environment.
