Nature's year unfolds in this beautifully illustrated guide to the changing seasons

From spring's first tadpoles to winter's berry-hunting birds, this enchanting book invites families to discover the quiet dramas happening all around us throughout the year. Anna Wilson's lyrical storytelling and Carolina Rabei's stunning illustrations bring each season to life, revealing the exciting—and sometimes surprising—stories of animals, plants, and places we see every day.

Watch tiny tadpoles transform into frogs among spring's fresh growth, follow colourful butterflies clustering around summer wildflowers, and discover how hedgehogs find safe places to hibernate beneath autumn's falling leaves. Each page encourages children to look more closely at the natural world, fostering a deeper connection with the rhythms and cycles that surround us.

Created in partnership with the National Trust and verified by their wildlife experts, this large-format hardback celebrates the wonder of British wildlife through eight different habitats. It's a seasonal story that invites the whole family to treasure the natural world together.

Suitable for children aged 5 onwards, and perfect for reading with younger children too.
