Description
If you go walking, You might collect berries, Or pebbles, Or wildflowers. I collect questions.
Time spent in the outdoors during autumn and winter stirs a child's curiosity. In If You Go Walking, a thoughtful thread of questions (How do seeds know not to grow until spring?) invites young readers to explore the world around them with wonder. In nature, questions are everywhere, and answers can be too, if you know the right places to look.
Author Erin Alladin invites young readers to think deeply in this lyrical nonfiction text, celebrating children's curiosity about the world around them. Illustrator Miki Sato's textural collage art recreates the wonder of the outdoors in paper, felt, and embroidery silk, creating masterpieces that invite readers to look again and again.
