The illustrations in this book are amazing and the observations about nature are unique and thought provoking. As two siblings set out on a wonder walk, they ask the reader all kinds of questions about the outdoor world. The text is simple and straight forward but the answers to the questions are anything but that. The pictures in the book are created by the author using “oil and collage on paper she creates with homemade stamp and layered tissue paper”.
“Wonder Walker” is one of those books that adults might like more than children. I love the way the author takes simple natural wonders and turns them into practical things the world needs. My granddaughter listened to the book but once we finished it she was ready to move on. In my mind this is a book that needs to be taken on a hike and read when you are outdoors. “Wonder Walker” is a great addition to my home library. It is a 2022 Caldecott Honor Book.
