Learn to pay close attention to the small and beautiful details of the natural world in the guide to exploring everything the outdoors has to offer.

Ever wanted to take a closer look at the beauty of the outdoors, but didn’t know where to start? Nature Spy is the perfect guide for any child wanting to explore the natural world with a close eye.

In this book filled with fascinating facts and detailed photographs, a little girl shares tips on the best ways to explore the wonders of the outdoors. Through encouragement and interesting descriptions, Nature Spy encourages children to look closely at such marvels as seeds in a pod, the patterns of ice crystals, the lines on a leaf, or a spider’s web.

 In the story, Yemi is learning to take responsibilities, watching her little brother while her mother is busy. And she is proud of being able to take such a responsibility. The positive portrayal of sibling relationship seems to be a common and preferable theme in many children's books. The culturally specific value, collectivism, is carried out through the story naturally and in an authentic manner. Cowen-Fletcher's first hand experience of living in Benin and her careful note in the end of the story add the authenticity to this story. In addition, Heath's study (1983) of child rearing practice among African Americans in rural areas of South Carolina also reveals this collective aspect of African culture.
