Hiking Day

"Engaging, soothing, and informative--just right for inquisitive young readers." --School Library Journal Beloved author Anne Rockwell celebrates nature and the outdoors with a gorgeous new picture book about a child´s first mountain hike! A young girl and her family go hiking up a nearby mountain for the very first time. As they climb up and up the path, they see everything from a friendly toad to a prickly porcupine, tall leafy trees to tiny red berries. Anne Rockwell and her daughter, artist Lizzy Rockwell, celebrate a day the little girl will never forget, especially when she reaches the mountain´s summit. With simple, lyrical text and bright illustrations that jump off the page, Hiking Day brings the joys of spending an afternoon outdoors to life.
