Slow down, take the time to really explore, and you will be rewarded with hidden treasures." -The Bookbag ** NEW Dual Language Edition in both Spanish & English ** Listen to the birds, the breeze, the rustle of the trees so excited. All of Nature is calling. We've been invited! The core message of exchanging indoor activities for the adventure of the great outdoors drives the rhyming narrative, a journey of imagination and discovery mixing fantasy with reality in brilliant watercolor landscapes. We almost forgot to step outside! How could we? When we're very very busy, time passes so quickly. What Wonders Await Outdoors serves as a gentle reminder, a personal invitation, to wander outside, absorb the scenes offered year round, and reconnect with the natural world with reverence and respect. ************************************************************ National Parenting Product Award recipient North Street Book Prize semi-finalist ************************************************************ "A rollicking rhyme to deliver a message encouraging kids to exchange indoor activities for outdoor pleasures ... Highly recommended for parents, preschool teachers, childcare providers, and anyone who would foster an early appreciation of nature in the very young." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review) "An essential book for getting the young ones (and some of the older ones) motivated to be at one with nature again." (Readers' Favorite) "The watercolour illustrations are so unusual-busy, lively and modern -and capture the positive joy and pleasure to be had in spending time outdoors." (LoveReading4Kids)

Autorenporträt
Justine Avery is an award-winning author of stories large and small for all. Born in the American Midwest and raised all over the world, she is inherently an explorer, duly fascinated by everything around her and excitedly noting the stories that abound all around. As an avid reader of all genres, she weaves her own stories among them all. She has a predilection for writing speculative fiction and story twists and surprises she can't even predict herself. Avery has either lived in or explored all 50 states of the union, over 36 countries, and all but one continent; she lost count after moving 30-some times before the age of 20. She's intentionally jumped out of airplanes and off the highest bungee jump in New Zealand, scuba dived unintentionally with sharks, designed websites, intranets, and technical manuals, bartered with indigenous Panamanians, welded automobile frames, observed at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo in Noba, Japan, and masterminded prosperous internet businesses-to name a few adventures. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree that life has never required, and at age 28, she sold everything she owned and quit corporate life-and her final "job"-to freelance and travel the world as she always dreamed of. And she's never looked back. Aside from her native English, Avery speaks a bit of Japanese and a bit more Spanish, her accent is an ever-evolving mixture of Midwestern American with notes of the Deep South and indiscriminate British vocabulary and rhythm, and she says "eh"-like the Kiwis, not the Canadians. She currently lives between Los Angeles and London with her husband, British film director Devon Avery, and their adored children. She writes from wherever her curiosity takes her. Avery loves to connect with fellow readers and creatives, explorers and imaginers, and cordially invites you to say "hello"-or konnichiwa.
