Each Living Thing by Joanne Ryder, illustrated by Ashley Wolff 2000
The spare text in this story follows different children across pages brimming with the wonders of nature. The appreciation and joy that the natural world can evoke is on each beautifully illustrated page. Different environments and seasons are explored as Ryder reminds us of the delicacy, and power, of our surroundings.
“Be wary of bears who linger in the dusk, of owls hooting, hunting in the night, of bats who flitter, whirling overhead, and cougars pausing, prowling out of sight. Be aware of them. Take care of them.”
Appropriate for ages 4-8
