Giant Steps

A young child puts on boots and heads outside to explore—and finds a tiny world of battling beetles, racing snails, and ants on the move in this STEAM-focused picture book for nature lovers. Each small step into the backyard garden leads to a new and wondrous find that unlocks the imagination, magnifying the world—and even the adventurer!—until the child is taking giant steps through whole forests, tracking a bear, and even pausing to watch a parade of wild creatures dance across the sky. Then an even bigger giant appears to lead the young explorer home! Giant Steps is full of bright, whimsical illustrations and paper cutouts of plants, insects, and animals that will inspire young readers to play and seek new experiences outdoors. Little readers interested in science will enjoy feeling like a giant as they step into the equally little explorer’s shoes, while parents and grandparents will enjoy seeing the world once again through a child’s eyes. Each page holds a new nature discovery along with valuable lessons on mindfulness, creativity, and independent play, making Giant Steps the perfect gift for curious young readers ready for adventure.
