“If your children’s wonder leads them outside anytime it’s not raining, this delightfully informative book by Eryn Lynum will whet their appetite. When the weather turns sunny, they’ll be off rambling the outdoors to find for themselves God’s wondrous masterpieces. Sooner or later, they’ll “scurry home with tales of high adventure.’”
