There is much to do and so much to see beneath the branches of a towering tree! Step inside a leafy backyard world where squirrels are zipping, bees are buzzing, the sun is shining, and a curious, creative child is noticing and absorbing it all. This tribute to the wonderful worlds that exist in a backyard invites readers to stop, take a breath, and appreciate the natural world around them.

Author Janna Matthies and I collaborated on this luscious picture book that explores the interconnectivity between the human spirit and nature, especially as found in a child’s own backyard.
