Celebrate nature and learn about the seasons in this collection of four heartwarming, fact-filled picture book stories – Busy Spring, Wild Summer, Autumn Feast and Winter Sleep.
Join young children and their families as they explore the outdoors through the changing seasons. Each story is woven with fascinating facts and stunning illustrations, offering a gentle introduction to how plants and animals adapt throughout the year.
Discover the seasons through:
- Busy Spring – Nature Wakes Up: discover how wildlife stirs back to life as days grow longer and warmer.
- Wild Summer – Life in the Heat: explore how plants and animals thrive and cope during the hottest months.
- Autumn Feast – Nature’s Harvest: learn how creatures prepare for winter with food stores and seasonal changes.
- Winter Sleep – A Hibernation Story: peek into the secret world of animals resting through the coldest season.
Each story is enriched with clear, accessible science. For example, Busy Spring explains plant growth, pollination and animal life cycles; Wild Summer explores adaptations to heat and drought; Autumn Feast teaches about seed dispersal, fungi and animal preparations for winter; and Winter Sleep explains hibernation and shows how animals survive the cold.
A Year in Nature is an invitation to step outside, notice the wonders of the natural world and take action to protect it – ideal for curious young minds and anyone who wants to nurture a lifelong love of nature.
