Why do such wonderful books fall by the wayside. The art is vivid and delightful and the story - a simple walk through nature and time - is refreshing. So glad this is available free online 🥰

Lovely illustrations in this story of the reclamation of an Ohio farm over the years by the plants and animals of the area.
