Description: With art supplies in tow a young boy explores the urban forest near his home then interprets what he sees with his art. The boy is a keen observer who uses poetic rhythmic language to describe the diversity he finds through all four seasons. His forest is both fluffy and prickly dense and sparse crispy and soft. It's also scattered and soggy and spotted and foggy. His forest is made up of many colors but he decides that mostly it's green. Each aspect of the forest inspires the boy to create a different kind of art: charcoal rubbing rock art photography sponge painting snow sculpture cut - paper collage. To this artist there's always something new to discover and to capture! In this delightful picture book Darren Lebeuf an award - winning photographer encourages small children to look closer at and appreciate the nature that surrounds them. And by providing such a broad range of ideas for artistic expression it's sure to awaken the nature artist in every child. Bright deeply textured illustrations by Ashley Barron bring the forest and the boy's artworks to vivid life. This story provides an excellent depiction of nature - based education in an outdoor classroom. The specificity of the concrete and abstract adjectives used in the text works as a perfect complement to primary science lessons on investigating comparing and identifying the physical characteristics of plants and animals. This book also makes for an enjoyable lyrical read - aloud.
