Take my hand. Walk and talk with me as we go Crunch... Crunch... Snap down this path.

Step by step, we connect to each other through nature. A short little tale about taking a hike with those we like best.

Author Jessica Lee Peterson lives in River Falls, Wisconsin, with her husband Matthew, stepdaughters Elli and Maya, children Trinity and Flint, and a cadre of creatures. She is a social worker by profession and a writer from the heart. This book was created as a celebration of her father's 80th trip around the sun. Phillip taught her at a young age the beauty and power of seeing the world from trails and healing through hiking. She continues this legacy by hiking with her children and husband in lands near and far.
