Synopsis
Part of the Over and Under collection. Over the canyon, the sun scalds the air, baking desert mud to stone. But under the shade of the cliffs hides another world, where bighorn sheep bound from rock to rock on the hillside, roadrunners make their nests in sturdy cacti, and banded geckos tuck themselves into the shelter of the sand. Discover the wonders concealed in the curves of the canyon, the magic of a desert wildflower bloom, and all the unexpected creatures that bring the desert to life.- ★★★★☆

Mindful Muslim Review
This highly informative, beautifully illustrated series of picture books teaches children that to know Allah ﷻ, is to know Him through His creations. While this specific book can be used to inspire a reverence for the intricacies of life in a desert and the beauty that can be found deep within, perhaps more importantly, it can be used to build a great appreciation for the uniqueness of Allah’s ﷻ creation, ultimately leading to a deep reverence for the Creator. The About the Animals and Plants section found at the end of the book, richly enhances the content and allows for continuous learning as children grow.
