Everyone has a special place, a spot where they feel comfortable and happy. When she wasn't under her tree, by her pond, at the beach, by her stream, in her field, enjoying her mountain, at her swamp, exploring her wetland, in her forest, or in her garden, Jessica loved being in her desert. As she enjoyed one beautiful day wandering among the rocks, Jessica wondered, "What does a desert do?" Playing, imagining, and exploring around her desert, Jessica sets out to find out what just makes her desert so special. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt prose, J. Bailey explores what it's like to have a special place outside where one can learn, grow, and discover in this beautiful children's nature book. J. Bailey brings exquisite imagination and a sense of wonder to this marvelous story that will inspire readers of all ages to learn and explore in nature, finding their own special places inside and out.
