Illustrated by
Mary Lundquist.
Apples hold the idea of a tree; eggs hold the idea of birds; people, young and old, hold ideas of all sorts. Wild's upbeat, poetic text elaborates on this nature-centric metaphor; Lundquist's delicate pencil and watercolor illustrations depict the growth and change of animals, children, and families. An abstract but approachable celebration of transformation, birth, and human potential.
