The Adventures of Scout: Beneath the Giants

Beneath the towering redwoods, Scout begins to wonder where a small banana slug like him fits in such a big forest world.

With a little guidance from Hemlock, a wise old owl, Scout sets off with one simple clue: look closer.

As he follows his silvery trail across the damp forest floor, Scout discovers mushrooms and hidden fungal threads, a fallen redwood that has become a nurse log, tiny creatures working beneath the leaves, and a brand-new redwood beginning its life beneath the giants. Along the way, he starts to understand that the forest depends not only on the tallest trees, but also on the smallest creatures and quietest work happening below.

The Adventures of Scout: Beneath the Giants is a beautifully illustrated nature story about curiosity, connection, belonging, and discovering that being small doesn't mean being unimportant.

Perfect for young nature lovers, curious explorers, classrooms, and families who believe there is always more to discover when we take the time to look closely.
