Gorgeous, detailed collages give readers a fresh outlook on the splendors of nature in this Caldecott Honor winner!
When two curious kids embark on a “wonder walk,” they let their imaginations soar as they look at the world in a whole new light. They have thought-provoking questions for everything they see: Is the sun the world’s light bulb? Is dirt the world’s skin? Are rivers the earth’s veins? Is the wind the world breathing? I wonder… Readers will wonder too, as they ponder these gorgeous pages and make all kinds of connections. What a wonderful world indeed!

Questions to Discuss with Your Family
Where do you think would be the best place to take a wonder walk?
Do you think rain is the day’s tears? If not, I wonder what rain might be?
Think about what else you find outside that isn’t in the book (cactus, animals, weeds, etc.) What questions might we ask about those things if they were in the book?

Meet the Author & Illustrator
Working in oil, watercolors, pen and ink, and collage, I create layered pieces from various materials on paper and digitally.
With a B.A. in Multicultural Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst I taught for 15 years in a Kindergarten classroom. In addition to consulting with teachers on incorporating art into their classrooms, I offer workshops and classes to children, adults and other artists.
I live in Western Massachusetts in a house my husband and I built and raised our children in.
