About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down a high-energy afternoon or encourage a child who is easily frustrated by things that take time. It is the perfect tool for transforming a routine walk into a mindful scavenger hunt, teaching children that the most rewarding discoveries happen when we are quiet and observant. Rather than a dense field guide, this is a lyrical invitation to engage with the natural world through patience and sensory awareness. The book follows a diverse group of children as they learn the 'rules' of birdwatching: move slowly, stay quiet, and keep your eyes wide open. It beautifully illustrates themes of curiosity and wonder, making science feel like a magical secret waiting to be found. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, it models the behavior of a budding naturalist while celebrating the small, joyful moments found in our own backyards and local parks.
