The text asks young readers to consider what they see and experience at a lake through the seasons -- from dragonflies and hummingbirds in summer, to crimson leaves in fall, to goslings on the lake's icy surface in winter, to moose calves by the water's edge in spring -- drawing local connections alongside those of a global sensibility.
Gorgeous illustrations show a child and grownup appreciating the lake's beauty, learning its secrets and enjoying moments of wonder, all first steps toward developing a lifelong awareness of our interconnectedness to the Earth and our impact on the environment.
Includes suggestions for further reading and an author's note regarding aspects of shaping our inner environmental compass.
