A young girl spends the day exploring the outdoors, and as she does, she realizes that every experience--from watching butterflies flit to feeling the sting of raindrops--shapes who she is meant to become. A perfect gift for graduation or any special occasion. With each step in nature, a young girl contemplates her place in the world. The question, "Who Are You?" becomes a mantra, asked by the wide sky above and the valley below. It echoes through her adventures as she encounters life''s simple treasures--a fallen acorn, a graceful butterfly, the embrace of a towering tree. But everything isn’t sunshine and butterflies. There are also unexpected challenges--the sting of raindrops, the uncertainty of darkness. But as the girl perseveres, she realizes that every moment--light or dark--is part of the journey that will lead her to where she needs to be and who she is meant to become. Here is a moving and whimsical picture book that places value on <who< you are, not what you are.
