In this magical and poetic picture book, a father and child see all the wonders and connections in nature and in life as they go about their day.
From a seed to a plant, from an egg to a chick, from a caterpillar to a butterfly, a child and father observe the cycles of nature and come to see that as each journey ends, new adventures begin.
