A Beauty Collected: A Captivating ABC Book to Discover the Beauty Around You [Hardcover]

Would you try a food you knew nothing about? Or would the flowers of your childhood stick as

strongly in your mind if you didn t know what they were called?

Vocabulary expands appreciation of our surroundings, and in turn, our language shapes our behavior. By featuring items that can be found in one s own neighborhood (acorns, flowers, herbs) combined with more exotic items (raw turquoise nuggets, wolves' claws, silkworm cocoons) the imagery in A Beauty Collected is both accessible and designed to expand the mind beyond the backyard. Whether the item is a porcupine quill or vanilla pod, the goal is to encourage inquisitiveness: What is this item? What purpose does it serve? What does it smell or taste like? Where can I find it?
