"Slow down, take the time to really explore, and you will be rewarded with hidden treasures."
—The Bookbag
Listen to the birds, the breeze, the rustle of the trees so excited.
All of Nature is calling. We’ve been invited!
The core message of exchanging indoor activities for the adventure of the great outdoors drives the rhyming narrative, a journey of imagination and discovery mixing fantasy with reality in brilliant watercolor landscapes.
We almost forgot to step outside! How could we?
When we’re very very busy, time passes so quickly.
What Wonders Await Outdoors serves as a gentle reminder, a personal invitation, to wander outside, absorb the scenes offered year round, and reconnect with the natural world with reverence and respect.
