Colors of Nature

About the Book

Colors of Nature describe nature viewed as a work of art, admired and revered as treasure. It is about colors, form, textures, sound, and fragrance and about the uniqueness of each creature along with information, legends, imaginary thoughts, and historic events. It is how a significant story or tale affects early childhood by building up imagination and intensifying the ability to see and penetrate the deepness of everything as real. It is the memory of the past coming alive to understand how powerful the environment in which one lives in is. Seeing nature as sacred is to preserve and to conserve it, and as we are deeply connected to it, harming it, we harm ourselves.
