Wonder is a beautifully illustrated rhyming picture book that aims to
heighten awareness of and interest in the natural world. The reader is
invited to follow and share in the adventure of two young girls who
cycle together from dawn to dusk, passing through an unfolding series of
landscapes representing the cycle of the seasons. It is a glimpse of the
world through the eyes of a child, and an encouragement to stop and
look--indeed to use all of our senses to appreciate and fully engage
with nature. It also seeks to capture something of the mystery and magic
of creation. Wonder is a true visual feast, thanks to its captivating
and intricate illustrations by award-winning artist Helen Cann. It is a
book designed to be read aloud, with a musical quality and soothing
repetitive rhythms that are sure to appeal to young ears.
