Book Cover & Preview Text
I am Nature I am a bear hibernating in the winter. I am an eagle soaring through the sky. I am a fish swimming through the ocean. I am a monkey in a tree so high. I am a bat in a dark lonely cave. I am a bird flying til I fall. I am a worm crawling through the dirt. I am a bug on a stone wall. I am a wolf howling through the night. I am a bird watch me soar. I am a tree standing high and tall. I am a lion, hear me roar. I am a slug trapped underneath a rock. I am the loud, rolling, sea. I am water, animals, plants, and trees Nature is everything I wish I could be. I am nature! -Treshaun Robinson
