To help commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the National Park
Service, #1 New York Times bestselling authors former First Lady
Laura Bush and her daughter Jenna Bush Hager have created an exuberant
picture book tribute to our national parks and the importance and fun of
connecting with nature.
Our Great Big Backyard follows Jane, whose plans of spending the
summer playing video games with her friends are dashed when her parents
announce that her family is going on a road trip to national parks
around the country.
Somewhere between the Everglades and Big Bend National Park, things
begin to change. Jane starts paying attention to the magnificent sights
and spends less time looking at her screen.
The stunning views open up her imagination as she and her brother see
everything that nature has to offer. And the more Jane discovers, the
more she realizes how much there is to love about the outdoors--whether
she's in a national park across the country or right in her own
backyard.
