Show young readers that whether they live in the country, city, or suburbs, their backyard is a world full of wonder ready to be explored in this imaginative picture book sure to delight fans of Lucy Ruth Cummins and Gabi Snyder.

As children play together, a sandbox becomes a desert, sidewalk chalk drawings become an art gallery, and everything that can be dreamed up is within reach. From forests to hike and mountains to climb, oceans to sail and castles to build, creative little ones don’t have to look any farther than their own backyard for wonderful things to be discovered!
