Good Morning, Mother Nature (Nature Time)

Say “good morning” with a heartwarming board book that pays homage to nature and wildlife.

Open your eyes, stretch your arms, and gather the kids for a perfect story to begin the day. Good Morning, Mother Nature lets readers of all ages awaken to celebratory text that serves as an ode to the great outdoors. Follow a chickadee at sunrise as it flits through the forest, wishing “good morning” to bears, beavers, deer, and other beloved critters. Along the way, the friendly bird encounters common sights and sounds of the forest, from fresh dew on leaves to a burbling brook.

Written as a companion to the acclaimed Goodnight Great Outdoors, this children’s book is a warm, rhyming tale by Lucas Alberg: “Good morning world. Good morning light. Good morning critters peeking into sight.” Highly stylized, playful artwork by Megan Marie Myers helps to create a board book that your family will beg to enjoy again and again.
