Description

Maya and her friends delight in catching falling leaves, dancing to the music of swaying trees, and discovering other enchanting adventures that grow self-confidence and foster a love of nature.

The sounds of rippling streams seem to flow from the pages, and your fingertips can almost feel the texture of sticks, stones, and cones from the beautiful illustrations with stunning detail.

Imaginative rhymes-Paint a pumpkin with colors that splish-splash and swish-paired with insightful quotations for adults by known and unknown sources -The sea has a way of reminding us of our smallness, yet at the same time, our potential for greatness- teach nature's nurturing lessons of kindness, empathy, compassion, and the joy of curiosity.

Among the book's surprises is a red lotus flower, a symbol of resilience, hidden brightly, its bloom waiting to be found.

Through Maya's journey, children grow to understand that nature's gifts belong to everyone and that protecting them is our shared responsibility-Earth and Heart are spelled with the same letters.

Celebrate the wonder of the natural world brimming with flowers, apples, turtles, deer, ducks, birds, soil, streams, leaves and other open-air treasures

Join in the great outdoor fun on every page. This is the first element of A Green Smile Equation: Fun + Curiosity + Imagination + Learning = Care for Nature and Environmental Stewardship.

Maya hopes you love reading her book under a tree, beneath the sky, or wherever you feel the happiest
