"Leave the flower for the bees, don't hurt the bug for doing what a bug does" are words spoken by early childhood and elementary school educators. Nudging children's admiration and respect for their natural world, while evoking the children to ask important questions about what they notice and wonder. This picturebook weaves in the child's affections for science and ecology. The simple text, the sweet monster learning to be an ecologist, and the delicate vignettes pull together a message of looking closer at the world around you. When we see or experience a beautiful moment in nature, we keep it safely tucked away in our hearts and schema. It is with us and everyone always when we let it be.
