A lyrical nonfiction celebration of the outdoors pairing childlike
observation with facts about the natural world Outside, you notice
things. Time spent in the outdoors stirs a child's imagination.
Nature sparks wonder, wonder leads to curiosity, and curiosity
brings about a greater knowledge of the world and one's self. In
Outside, You Notice, a meditative thread of child-like observations
(How after the rain / Everything smells greener) is paired with
facts about the habits and habitats of animals, insects, birds, and
plants (A tree's roots reach as wide as its branches). Author Erin
Alladin invites young scientists and daydreamers to look closely
and think deeply in this lyrical nonfiction text, celebrating all
the kinds of "outside" that are available to children, from
backyards to city parks to cracks in the sidewalk. Illustrator
Andrea Blinick portrays these spaces bursting with small wonders
with a child's-eye view, her naive and nostalgic style capturing
the joy of endless discovery. "The detailed text and varied images
immerse readers in the feeling of being outside, fully attentive
and relaxed....The illustrations use soft coloring, varied
perspectives, and active characters to great effect, pulling
observers into the worlds of plants, animals, and the people who
love them. This lovely book is more than the sum of its
parts."-Kirkus Starred Review
