WOW!!! How I love this artwork. This artwork was amazing and it made me feel so much. It was powerful and was intimately intertwined with the story. This was so brilliant. I feel this should have actually won the Caldecott and not only been a nomination.

This had power. I spent 4 years studying acupuncture and medicine and the core of our medicine is that we are part of nature. The more we divert from nature and separate ourselves, the more our health suffers. The starts out showing our separation from nature and then it begins showing all the ways that nature is still there and calling to us.

This book hit all my feels. I want to own this stunning book. The artwork is watercolors and its almost an abstract feeling of nature all over the place that is stunning. I would love to have frames of some of this artwork. I just love it. This book stunned me and I simply want more of it. What it did was amazing and shows how we need nature. I can't say enough.
