Hamza started his journey at the beginning of this year with a desire to film his favourite raptors. He finishes it with hope for the future, having experiences and conversations along the way which he will never forget.

Birds of prey are powerful, majestic, beautiful, charismatic, intelligent. What I think of when I wake up, what I dream about” he says.

If you're looking for a fun book with lots of simple nature-based activities and facts for the young years, this may be perfect for you! But while none of these are new to me (even as a kid I looked all around me and dashed left and right to see everything, haha, hello ADHD), I am sure that many kids could use a reminder that a walk is not just walking, but also looking, imagining, having fun, collecting, and more. Parents and educators will be inspired to take family and school field trips to destinations in their communities after reading this book. What fun to plan follow up walking rambles to discover local strawberry fields, apple orchards, parks, farmer's markets, urban and nature trails, and more!

Last on

The book goes on to look at shapes, numbers and letters in the environment. There is so much to learn!

Broadcasts

This is a fab book that I think all children should have on their bookshelf, either at home or at their early years setting they attend. It promotes their understanding of the world, as well as most of the other 6 areas of learning. An absolutely fantastic nature-based picture book that urges families outside to experience the world!
