(3) K-3 Illustrated by Myo Yim. This picture book doesn't follow a traditional plot but instead celebrates the untamed spirit of nature-loving children, inviting readers to cherish the boundless joy and curiosity of youth. The lyrical, reflective text praises kids who connect with the earth, delight in simple pleasures, and grow into compassionate individuals. Soft pastel and pencil illustrations depict racially diverse children enjoying outdoor adventures, emphasizing the book's theme of free-spirited exploration. A beautiful tribute to the wild, wonder-filled moments of childhood.
