Step by step, we connect to each other through nature. A short little tale about taking a hike with those we like best.

Author Jessica Lee Peterson lives in River Falls, Wisconsin, with her husband Matthew, stepdaughters Elli and Maya, children Trinity and Flint, and a cadre of creatures. She is a social worker by profession and a writer from the heart. This book was created as a celebration of her father's 80th trip around the sun. Phillip taught her at a young age the beauty and power of seeing the world from trails and healing through hiking. She continues this legacy by hiking with her children and husband in lands near and far.

Illustrator Felicia Olin lives in Springfield, Illinois, with her husband Jim and furry family. She is a full time painter who participates in art fairs and on occasion has been known to illustrate a few books.
