Discoveries in the Sand (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798990960107)

The long-awaited picture book is here! As Kaesee Bourne's author/illustrator debut, Discoveries in the Sand takes readers on an eye-opening journey with Nyla: a young girl who is frustrated that her family's annual day trip will be to the Mojave Desert instead of the beach. To Nyla, the desert is a barren land filled with nothing but tumbleweeds and sand; it is not until her parents give her the task of searching for some of the many animals of this desert, that Nyla realizes how full of life this ecosystem really is. By the end of the trip, she has had a change of heart, and can't wait to come back again so she can see more of what the Mojave Desert has to offer.

Discoveries in the Sand is perfect for introducing children to the desert ecosystem and the concept of being good stewards of the environment. This book will leave you with a greater appreciation of nature's hidden beauty. So pack your water, hat, and sunglasses, and prepare to embark on this desert adventure.
