You Are Nature, Too

What a lovely book by the presenter of the BBC’s Springwatch programme! It’s simple enough to read to a little one and get them interested in exploring the city around them but also great for deeper discussion with slightly older children. I enjoyed reading this with my daughter, who’s 10, and talking about the amazing ways nature finds a way to survive in all places. The illustrations are gorgeous and full of fascinating detail. – Lauren Partington * Plantlife Magazine *
The mindful text is calming and really does encourage youngsters to slow down, or perhaps stop and observe what surrounds them. The illustrations are a perfect complement to the verbal message, the seek and find challenge beneath each location spread encourages deeper engagement and the book ends with a spread of activities to try. – Jill R Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
