At first I didn't like that there was no text and then I stopped to think about it and realized it matches the mindful, stillness of hiking and it all made sense. Great book.

This book took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful wordless picture book. A young boy and his father go on a day hike together. Interacting with the wilderness and nature interacting with the duo. A beautiful message about giving back to nature inside the storyline. This one is a definite Mock Caldecott contender.

This is such a beautiful book! This wordless tale shows a father and son going on an all-day hike together to plant a tree on a mountain. It celebrates the beauty of nature and the importance of getting out in it. Any families that love to get out together and hike absolutely need this book!

I'm so-so on hiking, but Pete Oswald's drawings of a parent and child hiking compel me to find some landscapes for a day in the woods.
