The Inside of ME
The Inside of ME is a sweet, rhyming story with flowing imagery about connecting with the natural world through a child's eyes. More than it seems, it prompts children to think about their magical, interconnected world and the possibility of a reciprocal relationship with nature. Each illustration renders a scene from a natural place in Maine that is both open to the public and accessible to small children. In the back of the book are invitations to adventure to those places. This book is a keepsake and guide for exploring Maine's outdoors and the natural world wherever you are.
