A charming and nature-filled picture book about a young boy who connects with his busy dad over their love of nature.(goodreads summary)
Tim and his dad share the love of nature and exploring in their own backyard. On a day when Tim's dad is busy with work and chores, he goes to the attic and discovers his father's old journals and some pictures. Reading after reading all the things he has found, Tim gently drifts off to sleep and dreams of his own adventures. After he wakes up, he does not want to forget them so he draws everything out so he can share it with his dad.
What better way to connect with each other than though nature. This is a charming and sweet book about togetherness, imagination, and the love of exploring all the things nature has to offer. Whether in the backyard or out on an adventure elsewhere, nature is an important thing we can share with children. They learn so much by just observing and exploring but it is up to us adults to pass on that love. Tim and his dad have a special bond that is heartwarming through their own love of nature. It has bold pictures and simple text. This would be a wonderful book to read on Father's Day and then take in a nature activity and journal together. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
