Five starred reviews!</b> <p/> Perfect for fans of Joyce Sidman and Julie Fogliano, <i>Outside In </i>reminds emerging readers of the ways nature creates and touches our lives in homes, apartments, and cars, and is the perfect homeschooling tool to reflect on the world's connectedness. <p/> Outside is waiting, the most patient playmate of all. The most generous friend. The most miraculous inventor. This thought-provoking picture book poetically underscores our powerful and enduring connection with nature, not so easily obscured by lives spent indoors. <br> Rhythmic, powerful language shows us how our world is made and the many ways Outside comes in to help and heal us, and reminds us that we are all part of a much greater universe. Emotive illustrations evoke the beauty, simplicity, and wonder that await us all . . . outside.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Quietly profound...a comforting reminder that Outside will be there for us when we're ready."--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> "[M]uch subtler and smarter than all those put-down-your-screen stories kids get hit with, and the atmospheric watercolors on these pages mesmerize. Now, more than ever, we need books to remind us that Outside 'beckons with smells, sunbaked, fresh, and mysterious.'" --<i>NPR, </i> Best Books of 2020 <p/> ★ "[A] love letter to nature....Lushness without sweetness--wild, darkly romantic, and exquisite."--<i>Kirkus, </i>STARRED review <p/> ★ "This gorgeous celebration of nature is a stirring invitation to play."<b> </b>--<i>School Library Journal</i>, STARRED review <p/> ★ "A moving reminder that nature's beckoning need not go unrequited." --<i>Publisher's Weekly</i>, STARRED review <p/> ★ "[A] gentle, unpreachy text that conveys the way modern life can be cut off from or blind to nature....Ink and watercolor art is gorgeously luminous....Perfect for an outside storytime, this will also provoke discussion among kids about their own outside/inside differentiations." --<i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, </i>STARRED review <p/> ★ "[A] lyrical and sensory exploration of the artificial separation between indoors and outdoors....<i>Outside In</i> is a beguiling, thought-provoking book that thinks outside the box." --<i>BookPage</i>, STARRED review <p/> "The intersection of outside and inside is creatively explored in this reflection on nature and its gentle persistence and ever-presence....Visible brushstrokes and splashes create texture, reflecting the outside's raw, sensory, and uninhibited beauty--a beauty that (on the last spread) summons the girl out of her house and into the golden outdoors, reminding readers of the majesty that is always there, waiting just outside." --<i>Horn Book Magazine</i> <p/> "Lovely, expressionistic art and poetic prose invite readers to contemplate nature's mystique and its role in everyday life.... Through an evocative mix of aqueous washes and richer, more saturated tones, the color-washed, loose-brushed illustrations capture a sense of nature's intrigue, delights, and influence." <i>--Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Deborah Underwood</b> has written numerous picture books, including <i>New York Times</i> bestsellers <i>The Quiet Book</i>, <i>The Loud Book</i>, and <i>Here Comes the Easter Cat</i>.
