"If you've ever been timid about attempting to sketch or draw, Susie will dispel those fears by showing you how to get started as she did with her own fledgling drawings. This book is a beautiful example of an artist sharing her most personal journey of discovery of not only the world around her, but her journey as an artist on paper. Too often, all we see of a painter's works are the mature works which may intimidate us and make us reluctant to start on such a long path. Not so with Susie. She shows her sketches from first efforts to accomplished results, which is an inspiration to all of us who don't know where to start."
Review by Johnnie Liliedahl
"Peek into Susie's journals as she takes you to various natural environments and shows you who lives there. Her sketches inspire you to discover, record, and draw the everyday events in the lives of the birds, animals, plants and insets that live nearby. ....Anyone who is curious about nature and wants to enjoy it more can start a journal. It's a great activity for children, outdoor enthusiasts, birders, writers, amateur naturalists, and budding scientists. Educators can easily incorporate nature journaling into their science, literacy, and art curricula."
