Be still.
Look closely.
And watch.
You will be amazed by the tiny creatures that you can find.
It may be a cricket sitting on a blade of grass, an ant climbing up a leaf, or a honey bee flying by.
The lyrical poem written by Helen Frost encourages us to step gently outside to look more closely at the insects around us. Photography by Rick Lieder gives us a close-up look at the tiny creatures we share the world with. The photographs are fascinating and bring the prose to life.
This book gives you permission to slow down and pay close attention to your surroundings. The back pages provide detailed information on the insects you meet in the book.
What a wonderful way to encourage our curiosity and wonder—by stepping gently out!
Helps with: slowing down, being in nature, learning about insects, mindfulness, observing our surroundings, poetry, and sharing the world we live in with all creatures.
