“When we reached The Point, we would first feel the slimy, rough rock below our bellies, as if being lifted on the back of a whale. We would pull ourselves along the rock’s massive underwater surface, careful to not graze our hands or knees, then climb up above the water, standing tall beside the tower of rocks. We spent the rest of our time sliding down its slippery backside, over and over again—our own natural playground.” NatureNature QuotesChildren S BooksHyggeChildren S LiteratureNature WritingChildren S FictionCottagecoreChildren S Book Quotes Book:Poppy and Pa Source: Poppy and Pa
“Late afternoons were for resting in the hammock that hung between the Three Sisters, my favourite trio of birch trees, a book resting on my chest. Other days, I would follow my imagination around our property, my bare feet sinking into pillows of soft moss and rough lichens as I climbed up rock faces or followed a path of fallen pine needles. I would name each plant and tree around me as I filled my pockets with acorns, my soles hardened by the end of the summer.” NatureNature QuotesChildren S BooksHyggeChildren S LiteratureKidlitNature WritingChildren S FictionCottagecore Book:Poppy and Pa Source: Poppy and Pa
