I loved this book because it is so full of surprises and fun things to discover!
Reading the book felt like going on a nature hike. When I’m in nature I always look for the little discoveries–an insect, a special plant, a beautiful bird, mysterious footprints. And this sweet book is full of such discoveries.
I got inspiration from the book and ideas for fun activities to do in nature, and I loved the three fun characters of the traveling sisters, I wish I could join them on a hike!
From Miri's list on picture books about hiking in nature.
Friendship, field journals, flocks of birds, fairy mushrooms—this book tells the story of three pals on a hike—“It’s our favorite thing to do.” Me too!!
I love how The Hike could be used to inspire kids to keep a sketchbook or notebook and to look closely at the natural world around them. It’s also a sweet portrait of three friends who eat too many berries, get lost, and help each other reach the summit.
The book ends with a beautiful moment of ritual and appreciation for the world’s splendor and their own companionship.
