From the publisher

A Year in Nature is a captivating journey across the countryside through the seasons.

A delightful voyage through the seasons, each page sparkles with wonder and gentle surprises. From spring's first blossoms dancing in the breeze to winter's quiet hush beneath a blanket of snow, A Year in Nature celebrates the magic woven into each month, where birds chatter like storytellers, leaves whirl in secret ballets, and raindrops compose lullabies on mossy stones. With this beautiful collection, you are invited to wander meadow paths, pause beneath starlit skies, bring nature into your home and marvel at the tiny miracles often overlooked. It's a joyful reminder that nature's calendar is always full of enchantment.

This is a book to treasure all year, every year, and the perfect companion to A Year in Story and Song and A Year of Feasting and Festivities.
