Summary:"Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains features artist Rozalie Haizlett's hand-drawn exploration of the some of the region's smallest creatures and plants--a celebration of biodiversity and an invitation to slow down and appreciate nature's hidden wonders. It's also an adventure travel story, the result of Haizlett's journey throughout the Appalachian peaks, trails, and rivers from Alabama to Maine to Canada. Along the way, Haizlett looks closely at the earth, discovering Luna moths, Earthstar mushrooms, dusky salamanders, showy orchids, and more. Exploring national forests, national parks, wildlife refuges, and other public lands, Haizlett met with biologists, ecologists, and rangers to get an insider's look. Tiny Worlds draws readers into her sketchbook world of vibrant colors, textures, and original maps for an unforgettable journey of a treasured mountain range"--
