Description

A young girl spends the day exploring the outdoors, and as she does, she realizes that every experience--from watching butterflies flit to feeling the sting of raindrops--shapes who she is meant to become. A perfect gift for graduation or any special occasion.

Who are you?
asks the wide world around me.
I am the solid rock beneath me,
the soft clouds above me
and the air moving through me

With each step in nature, a young girl contemplates her place in the world. The question, "Who Are You?" becomes a mantra, asked by the wide sky above and the valley below. It echoes through her adventures as she encounters life's simple treasures--a fallen acorn, a graceful butterfly, the embrace of a towering tree. But everything isn't sunshine and butterflies. There are also unexpected challenges--the sting of raindrops, the uncertainty of darkness. But as the girl perseveres, she realizes that every moment--light or dark--is part of the journey that will lead her to where she needs to be and who she is meant to become.

Here is a moving and whimsical picture book that places value on who you are, not what you are.
