Nature Tells a Story
by Melissa, Quinton, Lacey, & Natalie Kolb

Nature is full of wonders and treasures and every season has a magical story to tell!

Nature Tells a Story invites young readers to step outside and explore the beauty of the natural world right in their own backyards. Told in lyrical rhyme and illustrated with one-of-a-kind artwork made from real leaves, flowers, sticks, and stones collected by the author and her children, this enchanting book brings each season to life through the eyes of a child.

As trees bear fruit, flowers bloom, and leaves drift to the ground, the story gently guides children through nature’s ever-changing landscape—sparking curiosity, imagination, and a love for the outdoors. Whether they’re dipping their toes in the ocean, picking apples in the fall, or watching snow blanket the ground, kids will discover that nature is always telling a story—if you know how to look.

🌿 If your family enjoys books like If You Find a LeafIf You Spot a Shell, or Leaf Man, then this beautifully crafted celebration of seasons, storytelling, and hands-on nature play will quickly become a favorite.

  • Explore and appreciate their surroundings – Learn how every rock, stick, and petal holds a story waiting to be discovered.
