Paired verbs tell two parallel stories between the human world and the
natural world: While a father nurtures a son during a birthday camping
trip, the sun nurtures our planet in this inspirational picture book.
Linda Joy Singleton's (Crane and Crane) simple sequence of verbs
invites comparison of word meanings and concepts. Richard Smythe's
(Crane and Crane, The Mighty Steam Engine) colorful illustrations
inspire observations and highlight the different meanings of the paired
words.
Perfect for celebrating father-son relationships and our relationship
with nature, this charming book makes a great Father's Day gift or
read-aloud for preschoolers and older children.
