Bringing the Outside In by Mary McKenna Siddals & Illus by Patrice Barton


Oh May and June. All those dandelion, apple blossom, and lilac bouquets. The discoveries and finds that were hidden under the melting snow. The wild asparagus discovered on morning walks and kept in a vase on the counter until it is sizzled up for supper. The dirt and sand covering the hallway floor. The fresh air blowing in after a winter of tightly closed windows. The new mown grass tracked in after dew covered exploration... 

We are bringing the outside in. 


This sweet book follows four kids through the four seasons.


The text is rhythmic and simple, perfect keeping tiny listeners attention.


I am not entirely sure if they are all family, but they look like it. Which is pretty cool. You don't see mixed families very often in books. 


Summer


Fall


Winter

Coziness!!


All those treasures and pictures and stories and memories...

I adore kids loving the outside.


Mommy's lap and pictures and stories of outside. 

Can life get better? I submit that it cannot.
