One day, Calvin woke up and knew that today was a good day for an adventure. All around him, the earth was speaking to Calvin and he wanted to listen.

A heartwarming story told through rich illustration and rhythmic verse about all of the wonders there are to discover if you take the time to experience the beauty of nature.

Calvin finds that everything he needs and more can be found within the forest, creek, raindrops, dirt, animals, and more:

"...and the animals answered:

'We are your friends, your companions, your brothers.

We will help you to be playful, to be curious, and to be gentle.

Our soft fur will be your hug and our eyes will be your comfort.

With us, you will always feel loved.' "
