A picture from above looking down on some kids sitting on a tarp with scavenger hunt baskets, full of leaves, twigs, acorns and so on, using tape dispensers to attach those found items to card stock posters spelling out the letters of their names.
Cover of the book mentioned, written by Lauren McLean and illustrated by Anna Panchuk.
The features a bunch of shrubbery in the front left and right corners with trees on either side of the cover, reaching out toward the sky, and the canopy creating some shade below, where a white-appearing child with long, red brown hair sits peacefully on a rock, eyes closed, taking in nature sounds and smells, just being at peace on her “sit spot.”
A close-up view of a couple of the student name posters in the process of being covered in naturey loose parts. The centre is a mini clipboard with a mini page of fall scavenger hunt items to search for, which includes grass, leaves, rocks, sticks, etc.
One more shot of kids in the process of adding some natural loose parts from their specimen collection baskets to their name posters.
Nice work, if you can get it…
