Using simple, poetic text with an environmental message, this book suggests ways we can learn from, appreciate, and preserve nature. While the mindfulness affirmations ("Let the lake instruct you in stillness") will resonate most with adult readers, the story's message of caring for the earth and its creatures may have broader appeal. The precise digital art adds interest with a luminous, textured look.
