Do you ever wonder what could happen if we all hid away? If we
stayed in, we just might see … the animals come out! A delightful
series of poems describes the many animals that emerge from the
woods, the hills and the skies when we are not around. Peek out
your window and watch the deer grazing under the streetlights, the
rabbits hopping through our vegetable gardens, and the ducks quack
quack quacking along the sidewalks. The Animals Come Out was
inspired by the wildlife seen in quieted urban areas during the
early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a situation that young readers
may well remember. But this book also encourages readers to be
aware that, in fact, we share the outdoors with these animals all
the time, and to consider the impact that we have upon them. Key

Faced with moving away from his beloved river in the country,
Martin discovers it is possible to make a meaningful connection to
nature in the city, too, and find ways to accept changes beyond his
control. Martin loves to play by the river near his house. He
watches the great blue herons and looks for crayfish and otters. He
builds forts and lies in the tall grass near the water. But one day
Martin’s parents tell him they have to move away, to the
city. The family spend a day in the city, exploring their
future home. Martin rides the subway, visits the market, explores
the museum and watches a street performer, but none of the city’s
charms can compare with the river. Then his parents show him a
small stream running through the park, and Martin senses something
familiar in the air. When moving day arrives, Martin fills a
small glass jar with river water as a keepsake. And when he returns
to the stream, he discovers that his connection to nature can be
just as wondrous in the city. This poetic story looks at the
special relationship between an imaginative child and the natural
world, and explores how that connection can be nurtured and
recreated in a new place. Key Text Features dialogue illustrations

Following the huge success of Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox, this
companion book is a lyrical celebration of our relationship to the
natural world. In each of twelve short poems, a child tells us how
or why they feel like the sun, a river, a mountain, a cloud, the
rain, a forest and more. Their deeply felt connections and
identification with these wonders point to how much we are all part
of the natural world. Each poem comes to life through vivid,
playful illustrations that show the children immersed in their
surroundings. The book serves as a gentle call to action — to
notice, appreciate, preserve and protect our environment, while
delighting in all its beauty. A mindfulness activity — A
Mindful Walk or Roll — invites young readers to use their senses
to experience their surroundings to the fullest. Includes a brief
author’s note that highlights our connections to the natural
world. Key Text Features author’s note illustrations poems
