Magic Places

As an artist, I first purchased this book for myself because of the beautiful illustrations by artist Mary Fuscaldo. When I read the text by Erin Anderson, I realized what a treasure it would be for the young (and not so young) people who love the out of doors and the special places we all know and keep in our hearts.Carol Struthers

A special gift to give to a special child

This is a children's book...but it is more than that! This beautifully written and illustrated book has universal appeal, with messages for any age. When I read it, I thought at once of my grand children and how much I wanted this book to share with them. In addition, I felt I really wanted to share it with friends who, like me, appreciate true beauty in nature, the written word, and in fine art. As a former teacher, I recognize that "Look About You" is a special book that has the qualities we continually seek in a "good" book. You will want to own this book and savor visiting the "wild places" with someone you care about!
