A book of stories and drawings, like a walk of surprises with a friend through the backyard and into the woods ... the hills ... the nature that few have seen in just this way. Nature on its own terms. Animals as individuals with a sense of humor, a capacity for compassion, mysteries of their own, and strengths we can learn from. You'll want to linger here. Leigh Cruden Kuhn's true stories invite family discussions, nature center visits, hikes into the wilderness, and even fresh consideration of the household pet.
