"Part nature book, part art book, and one hundred percent a book on creativity and imagination!" - Kristin Guay, Youth Services Book Review, starred review "BEST BABY BOOKS: 52 MUST-HAVES FOR 2020. Fantastic and highly recommended. The author uses nature (leaves, twigs, flower petals) to make beautiful critters like lions, pigs, flamingos, and one of the most beautiful butterflies we've ever seen! Simple, creative, and inspiring interactions with nature." - Mommyhood 101 "A fun photographic picture book...shows all the things you can do with materials found in nature with a little creativity and imagination. You can turn flower petals into chickens, leaves into a turtle other leaves and stems into a flamingo, yet other petals into a polar bear the possibilities are endless and the photos in this book provide a good guide to start making your own artistic creations." - Book Riot Selected by Travis Jonker, of School Library Journal, as one of The Most Astonishingly Unconventional Children's Books of 2020
