Why read it?
1 author picked The Hike as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
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.
From Danica's list on playing in nature.
