In the autumn season, the woods begin to go to sleep. The leaves fall to the ground, the squirrels collect food for the winter season, the grass dries, and the temperatures drop. It’s time for nature to rest.
Those living in the Midwest enjoy the variety found in the four seasons, so during the nap that the earth takes; we can prepare our children for the life that will soon wake up when spring rolls back around. Wake Up, Woods is a children’s book that details nature with attractive and realistic illustrations featuring the beauty of the plants and animals found in the forests and woods in the Midwest. Young readers will have an appreciation for nature around us and gain knowledge of life in the woods of that region.
Each illustration describes the plant, insect, or animal and what their function does. Every page is loaded with interesting information about the woods. There is nothing boring about Wake Up, Woods. Children will enjoy hours of learning as they look through this book over again.
Wake Up, Woods is a recipient of a Silver Medal of Achievement as part of the 2020 GardenComm Media Awards!
“An enchanting peek into the splendor that awaits us outdoors.”
