An inspiring read with valuable lessons about respecting and appreciating both nature and your siblings."" —Hakai Magazine ""A love letter to an autumnal beach and a charming read-aloud."" —School Library Journal ""Washes of muted jewel tones and soft pencil lines invite readers to enjoy oceanside delights. … A solid seaside escapade that will sit nicely alongside other books on the five senses.” —Kirkus Review Praise for I Hear You, Forest by Kallie George and Carmen Mok “Through each lush and atmospheric page turn, we meet new animals and feel the empathy the child experiences for the beauty and marvel that surrounds her… I encourage parents to read this book to their children and then take them on a stroll through their local park or forest.” —Good Reads with Ronna ""Readers will feel transported into another world"" —TinyBeans “A lovely new picture book reminding readers that any sojourn into nature is enriching, but will be much more so when we activate all of our senses and awareness.” —Unpacking the Power of Picture Books"
