Illustrated by
P. J. Lynch.
Wood's poetic prose, sentimental but effective, invites young readers to savor their individual experiences while exploring the beauty and wonder of the natural world: "No one but you can feel the rain kiss your skin / or the wind ruffle your hair." Children of different ethnicities interacting with nature are the focus of Lynch's beautifully textured double-page-spread oil paintings.
