Swirls in Nature

We read this book by Joyce Sidman and Beth Krommes  a couple of times.  The illustrations are lovely and the prose is poetic in this celebration of the shape of the swirl in nature.

And we are fortunate to have the firsthand experience of finding snails in our outdoor play area.  Lots of them!

Now take a look at AR’s painting after these experiences.  She chose the subject herself: a swirl.  I am continuously impressed by the abilities of preschoolers!
