Description

On a day that's perfect for being outside in nature, Smudge and his family head for a hike in the mountains. But Willa's fussing, Mom's stressing, Grandpa's telling the same old stories all over again, and Smudge will absolutely NOT be good, thank you very much.

When nature's beauty doesn't bring them together right away, could wandering from the path be just what they need

Faith Pray's gentle and stunning watercolors stir up a forest full of emotions in this subtle exploration of feeling distant from the ones you love and finding your way back to each other again.
