This radiant picture book speaks to each of us having individual experiences in the world. Only you can feel things the way that you do. Only you taste, hear, smell and see things in the way that you do. No one else breathes with your breath. No one else wishes on the same star in the same way. And no one else feels the emotions you do or says I love you the way that you mean it.

This picture book describes the many things that one can experience in nature. Everyone can experience nature, like the kiss of rain on your skin.

Each page of this picture book has a description of something wonderful you can share with nature, and a picture of a child preforming the act. The picture of the child is enlarged so that whoever is reading the book will feel a connection to the child. This book is an easy read to help childre...more
Wow. This is a summertime bedtime book that begs to be turned into a cherished ritual. And seriously, that is not something that I can recall having said about too many books.
Big soft realistic paintings of children pair with descriptive mellifluous text to create a lullaby-like book full of sensory images. Lie on your back and imagine a soft voice saying,
"No one but you can feel the rain kiss your skin
or the wind ruffle your hair.
And no one but you can walk through a rain puddle
in your bare fe...more

Simply beautiful, this book describes the singular world that each of us lives through our unique experiences. Rich with sensory images of Nature, each two-page spread highlights one child tasting, touching, seeing, and feeling the world around him/her.
Grades PK-3? This book is beautifully illustrated with realistic oil paintings. A loving message about the awe and specialness of being yourself-- and the miracle of discovering things by yourself and knowing yourself.
Simply beautiful, from the illustrations that are exquiste to the wonderful words. No one can feel like you. See like you. Experience things like you.
A great bok for encouraging us to experience things ourselves using all our senses. Nice scaffold for writing poetry. Very cool book.
Beautiful illustrations give parents and students a chance to hopefully be observant of the beauty in their world. Might make a nice writing mentor text.
Moving poetic text, beautiful realistic illustrations and all that nature has to offer. This would make a great gift book.
This book goes beyond the message "you can be whatever you want to be." It shows that you are unique and that there is no one like you- there never has been, there is not presently, and there never will be. With lifelike illustrations and captivating prose, this book is a must read.
Amazing, hang-on-the-wall-worthy artwork and a message that even my sarcastic little heart appreciates.
Near photographic illustrations. Nature is a true treasure -- to our senses. Gorgeous elementary book.
An appealing invitation to experience and appreciate nature through all the senses.
Amazing illustrations. I loved how realistically the children are illustrated.
I love the illustrations but I stopped reading the text about half-way through.
A sensory delight of discovery with omg illustrations.
Get involved in your life. Pay attention.
What an incredibly beautiful book!
Lovely sentiment and illustrations.
The text in this inspiring picture book reminds each of us that it's up to us to make a difference. There's a beautiful world out there waiting for us to notice. There are seeds that need to be planted, plants that need to be nurtured, and stories to be told. The illustrations focus on individuals giving their all to make something good happen instead of waiting for something good to happen to them. This would be a great addition to a text set about children who can change the world in small and...more

Thoughts: Great pictures, although kids who don't play outdoors may not relate to them.

A pairing of brilliant artist and writer. P.J. Lynch's work is always amazing.
