Amazing pictures and story line

“Once we were part of outside, and outside was part of us. “

When way I would use this book is to help students understand our environment and why we should take better care of it. You could form many writing prompts off of this book.

Week 1: Caldecott Winner! I love the illustrations in this book and how it is full of color. It truly stirs up some emotions within the language and pictures used. Published in 2020.

Picked this as I've stayed in that area numerous times, visiting my good friends.
Whilst the idea of this was great, I couldn't gel with this book and skimmed it...

One quote from Outside In by Deborah Underwood is: “We forget Outside is waiting, the sound of the wind and the song of the birds. We forget that outside is there, waiting... but outside is always there.“ This captures the theme of the book that nature is patiently waiting for us to reconnect with it.

I would use this book in my future classroom by discussing environmental issues and nature. This is also a great book for art class to show perceptive and lines!

Outside In by Deborah Underwood is a picture book that was published in 2020. This book shows many different elements of line and perspective. It makes many connections between nature and people. I loved the illustrations and how it explored nature. Great book.

Kimmerer knows how to blend science with storytelling, humility, heart and spirit.

It‘s hard to review a book of best American science and nature writing. I love these types of anthologies, for lack of a better word, and I obviously liked or loved certain of the articles. They were all informative and some I cared about more than others. Some are extremely pertinent to the current election and beyond. If you like scientific writing, this will be your jam. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
