This is a story about the "Barefoot Diva," Cesaria Evora, a deaf singer who feels the beat of the music by dipping her feet into the sand / mud around her.

A really cool concept (alphabet) book that showcases trails in various National Parks across the U.S., including the Ledges trail in the Cuyahoga VallA really cool concept (alphabet) book that showcases trails in various National Parks across the U.S., including the Ledges trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which is a part of my big back yard.
For each letter, there is expository information about a specific trail and park, the length of the trail, and the level of difficulty. There is also information shared in verse. Plus, there is other information about gear and the rules of hiking. At the end of the book is a labeled diagram of a compass and its parts, plus information about how a compass works.
This book is beautifully illustrated with bold, colorful drawings.

I'm not sure what age this book is intended for. As I stated, the illustrations are wonderful, which would make it great for a younger audience, but some of the vocabulary seems geared towards an older child. I know there's a multi-page Glossary at the back, but cannot really see any child referring to this, especially since this section is just words on a page - no illustrations, at all.
Also, the words are organized as if in verse - some of the stanzas rhyme, as you would assume, while others ...
