Wonder Walk
A whimsical tale of a girl going on a meandering walk through the woods. As she walks, she encounters sage wisdom from different features of the surrounding nature in ways that touch each of her senses (specifically the senses of sound, scent, taste, orientation, temperature, and light). She is a questioning and thoughtful girl who considers everything that the animals, plants, and elements tell her. She receives practical, motherly advice such as how it is good to ask for help, to exercise, and to rest, as well as philosophical ideas like what it means to reflect inwardly and be confident.
