The debut book by Tilly Fry and Polyana Kohn

Tilly is an Outdoor Educator from Margaret River (WA) now living in Tasmania, who wrote this poem after witnessing the incredible effects that the outdoors have on our lives. After sharing the poem with school groups, encouraged by her colleagues, she endeavoured to turn the poem into a book! Tilly hopes this poem and book inspires young people to get into the outdoors and experience the awe for themselves.
