Beautiful and Informative

"I bought this book for my Grade 1 class. The illustrations are stunning, and the author’s writing is simple, yet informative. It’s a great book for elementary students as it’s easy for them to understand the connections we have to the land, water, animals, etc. My students were able to make personal connections very easily. Great book, highly recommend."
