To help commemorate the one hundredth
anniversary of the National Park Service, #1 New York Times bestselling
authors former First Lady Laura Bush and her daughter Jenna Bush Hager have
created an exuberant picture book tribute to our national parks and the
importance and fun of connecting with nature.
Our Great Big Backyard follows Jane, whose plans of spending the summer playing
video games with her friends are dashed when her parents announce that her
family is going on a road trip to national parks around the country. Yet
somewhere between the Everglades and Big Bend National Park, things begin to
change. Jane starts paying attention to the magnificent sights and spends less
time looking at her screen. The stunning views open up her imagination as she
and her brother see everything that nature has to offer. And the more Jane
discovers, the more she realizes how much there is to love about the
outdoors—whether she’s in a national park across the country or right in her
own backyard.
