A colorful, charming, and immersive guide to exploring and
treasuring the complex, miraculous natural world in your own backyard
and beyond.
Backyard Wonders is an illustrated celebration of the vast natural
diversity of the world, one that you can find by simply stepping
outside. This guide to backyard (or front stoop!) ecology encourages
you to notice every sight, sound, and smell—the rustle of falling
leaves, the chirping of crickets, the scent of spring rain, and the
radiance of the stars above—as a way of understanding the wonders of
our complex, beautiful planet.
Interact mindfully with your surroundings and embrace the simple joys
offered by the great outdoors while gleaning tidbits of scientific
information written to teach and inspire all ages. Each chapter—teeming
with gorgeous, intricate nature illustrations—begins with a mindfulness
prompt like "Notice the Small Things," "Taste the Wild," or "Discover
Patterns," encouraging curiosity about the call-and-response
interactions between birds or what a cloud can tell us about the
future. Learn about foraging, sacred geometry, moon phases, animal
tracks, clouds, weather, and more.
As you leaf through Backyard Wonders, you will find your understanding
of nature's everyday feats expanding. Let wonder and curiosity bloom as
you embark on this illustrated journey of the outdoors.
