 Description:

One of the best gifts you can ever give a child is to show them how to appreciate nature, cherish its innumerable gifts, and always leave Mother Earth a better place than how we found it.

With eye-catching, colorful, and vibrant art, this bestselling innovative picture book captivates readers of all ages and gently introduces them to the concept of Etuaptmumk—or Two-Eyed Seeing, the gift of multiple perspectives in the Mi’kmaw language—as we follow a group of young children connecting to nature as their teacher.

Remember that you are never alone no matter where you are: in a park, in your backyard, in the forest, at a river, lake, or ocean. Nature surrounds you wherever you go, teaching you about plants, animals, and even about your own self!

But how can you say thank you and show your gratitude for the goodness of nature? Teaching children to share their wonder and curiosity—asking questions, building relationships, and looking for different ways to know through their own two eyes, this book reminds us that Nature has rights and we have responsibilities.
