This beautifully illustrated giftbook by Wainwright prize-winner and activist Dara McAnulty guides you through five sections: looking out of the window, venturing into the garden, walking in the woods, investigating heathland and wandering on the river bank.
Dara pauses to tell you about each habitat and provides fantastic facts about the birds, animals and plants you will find there as well as including a discovery section all about natural phenomenons and an activity to do when you get home.
