5.0 out of 5 stars Listen November 10, 2009

By Jennifer Plank

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I adore the author of this book. It is beautiful.
I work in an outdoor education setting with kids who may have not experienced the outdoors very much and this book I always read before beginning a nature based activity. I take them some place quiet outside away from everything and read to them. Then I have them sit and listen to nature and we talk about what they are hearing and how often we can go without noticing the sounds around us.
This book helps to drive that point, about being patient and waiting to see the beauty that the natural world has to offer. If you have a classroom of stir crazy kids and you want to take them outdoors to experience nature, I stronly suggest that you read this to them because it really helps to focus.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorites March 11, 2010

By Catherine Brudz

Format:Paperback

I have no words that do this justice. A buoyant, peaceful story of listening with the spirit as much as the manifest senses, it speaks to the stilly deep places of the soul. It's also gorgeously illustrated.
