| How Would It Feel? FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES This delightful book takes children on an imaginative journey, inviting their personal exploration of all aspects of nature. It presents a series of fantastic hypothetical questions that encourage children to imagine an intimate and playful relationship with the natural world and contains vivid and intricate full-color illustrations to spark the imagination. How would it feel to ride a breeze…splash down with the rain…play tag with the sun…or wake up in a flower? Children and parents alike will have an opportunity to view the world from widely varying perspectives, such as high in the sky or deep under the sea. But the final stanza provides reassuring closure, returning children to the safety of home: It’s time to go back / to your bed and rest, / back to the family / who loves you best. The repeated poetic phrasing beginning each passage provides early reading skill development, and vivid and intricate details in the watercolor artwork successfully extend and amplify the text, inviting many hours of exploration. The artwork is stunning both in its imagination and benevolence. |
