Description
"We can help our meadows, too!"
Grassy, flower-filled meadows are really pretty! It's oh-so tempting to hike and skip right through them. But meadows are actually fragile, and human footsteps and picnics can cause them harm-and then they cannot do their important work of providing habitat for creatures and plants, filtering water, and even storing carbon. The bouncy text and vibrant illustrations in this sturdy board book show little nature lovers how to easily protect meadows while enjoying one of Earth's loveliest features.

Reviews / Votes
Kirkus Reviews, February 2023: "As in Eat Up, Bear! (2021), author and illustrator again team up to show small folks-and their parents-how to enjoy nature without harming it. . . . The simply drawn, brightly hued illustrations are graced with a multitude of accurately depicted plants and animals: red-shouldered hawk, Turk's-cap lilies, lupine, blue flags, milkweed, monarch butterflies, red-winged blackbird, and much more. . . The last couplet underscores the point: 'Every grown-up, every child, / can help keep meadows strong and wild.'"Midwest Book Review, February 2023: "Fun and with an important message, 'Hello, Meadow!' is a very special
and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center,
preschool, and community library board book collections for children
ages 6 months to 3 years."
