pickHiking Day by Ann Rockwell was published in 2018. This charming story follows a girl and her family as they hike up Hickory Hill, discovering different trees, animals, and plants. The book is perfect for introducing students to the wonders of nature and encouraging curiosity about the wilderness. Its simple yet engaging storyline makes it an excellent resource for lessons on ecosystems, wildlife, and the beauty of outdoor exploration.
This book has very colorful illustrations! I think the illustrations could draw students into the story more.
pickThis story is about a girl and her family hiking up Hickory Hill. You go with them throughout their journey up the hill. They find different types of trees, animals, and plants. This would be a good book to introduce when talking about the different things we can find in the wilderness.
pickThis is a great story. A young man is hunting rare birds and I think he's stuffing them? Or studying them somehow? He offers a young girl $10, which would be a lot for her and her grandma, asking her for help tracking down a rare white heron. She knows where the bird is, but does she tell him? Do we make a personal sacrifice for the greater good?
Beautiful 'false spring' day in Colorado! Hit the trails with my daughter and the Grand 🥾
It was muddy af for most of the hike and as I was slippin' and slidin' I kept thinking about Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey, and again--I'm amazed anyone completed that journey!!
pickThis was my #doublespin for January! It's a sweet, vintage read. I loved Caroline's spunk 😊
It was also fun to discover an old library card inside! I love finding little treasures like that in old books.
