Synopses & Reviews
Cultural Writing. Children's. Photography. Nature's alphabet is all around us, waiting to be discovered. Letters are hiding everywhere, on snowy mountains, in dry deserts, in shady forests, on the edges if the ocean. The first ABC book of its kind, DISCOVERING NATURE'S ALPHABET presents stunning photographs of letters formed entirely by nature, untouched by human hands. Tree branches make letters and so do coral, icicles, pine needles, and petals. The world around us teems with letters. Let nature be your book. Look for an "A" in a garden, at the beach or in a park. Look closer and who knows what other letters you may find!
Synopsis
If you stand in just the right place, at just the right time, you are going to see some pretty amazing things. Like the three tall branches leaning against one another, creating the letter A. Or the spines of a cactus forming the letter F. And it looks like that bent, twisting tree trunk makes the bars of the letter K with that straight trunk in the foreground. Discovering Nature's Alphabet is more than an ABC book: it's a hiking game and alphabet hunt. Full of beautiful photos and practiced imagination, these pages take readers outdoors to let them see nature in a new light. The shapes of the alphabet are everywhere if you look hard enough; not just in the branches or vines, but in the cracks between rocks, the spaces between mountain cliffs, and the accidental clumping of a couple bits of seaweed.
