Reach for this book when your child is overflowing with restless energy or when you want to cultivate a sense of mindful observation during your next family walk. It is the perfect tool for slowing down a fast-paced day and encouraging a child to look closer at the world around them. Following siblings Cammy and William on a summer afternoon, the story functions as a gentle mystery of the natural world. Instead of seeing animals directly, the children discover clues like a floating feather, a muddy footprint, or a beaver's dam. It beautifully models curiosity and patience, making it an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to ask 'why' and 'how' about the environment. Parents will appreciate how it transforms a simple walk into an investigative adventure, fostering a deep, quiet respect for wildlife and the 'hidden' stories of the outdoors.
