Making the World

A breeze brushing the water, waves washing onto the shore, butterfly wings making a breeze, birds singing, a monkey playing in a tree.... All of these activities help to make the world as we know it. With lyrical poetic descriptions by Douglas Wood and watercolor paintings by Hibiki Miyazaki, this book will take the reader on a trip around the world to see how everything in nature works together to recreate the world each day. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1999.
