Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist
Independent Publisher Book Award Gold Medalist

Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains features artist Rosalie Haizlett's hand-drawn exploration 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, pickerel frogs, 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 of vibrant colors, textures, and original maps for an unforgettable journey through a treasured mountain range.

Full of charm

I wanted to give this as a gift to someone who is going to be spending time in the Appalachian Mountains, and I was so charmed by it I bought a copy for myself. The lovely images and text offer a peaceful escape and are also educational.
