This lyrical and sensory wonder captures the intersection of the outside and inside in a creative manner. It is depicted as a reflection of nature, our sense of belonging to nature, and our inner peace.
A girl sits in the back seat of a car that drives toward a house. Even when we are "outside", we are still "inside" the car! Even when this is the case, the "outside" fills the little child's heart with wonder and curiosity. The "outside" pulls us using its noise, warmth, smells, light, animals, birds, etc, and asks us to explore it. Even when we're inside our homes, nature comes in with berries to eat, cotton clothes to wear, wooden furniture for us to use, water from natural sources coming through our faucets, and rising and setting sun's rays entering through our windows.
This simple yet thought-provoking story has many layers of meaning, but still, our powerful and enduring connection with nature stands out. And the "outside" always wants to play with you.
📚 Rhythmic text and stunning illustrations
📚 Awesome read for ages 4+ but of course, little ones might need a bit of help understanding the concept.
📚 The book encourages us to spend more time outdoors than indoors to reinstate our connection with nature and enjoy its beauty.
