Outside In by Deborah Underwood and Cindy Derby (Houghton, Mifflin, Harcourt, 2020)
I'm here, Outside says. I miss you. Outside is waiting--the most patient playmate, the most generous friend, the most creative inventor. Each day, Outside and Inside collide in playful, surprising ways. In lyrical language, best-selling author Deborah Underwood reminds us that very little separates us from Outside, and that we are all part of a much greater universe. Together with Cindy Derby's emotive illustrations, Outside In evokes the beauty, simplicity, and wonder that await us all... outside.
