For nature kids aged 18 months and up. Oh, how wonderful summer is! Lotta gets to snack on sweet cherries, run barefoot, and discover grasshoppers in the meadow. Grandpa takes her to the swimming lake, and her friend Henri is, of course, along for the fun. Hooray, there’s even ice cream at the lake! Lotta and Henri splash in the water and build a sandcastle on the shore. Grandpa has brought a fantastic picnic. What a lovely day at the lake!

This first read-aloud story invites children from 18 months to experience a wonderful summer day with Lotta. Lotta loves nature, and we get to accompany her on her adventures. She perceives and explores the world with all her senses: she hears the frogs croaking, munches on sweet watermelon, and feels the grass under her bare feet.

The combination of photos and cheerful illustrations creates a truly special picture book experience. Numerous small images hidden within the photos spark curiosity and provide plenty of conversation starters. This encourages a desire to explore nature and summer—both in the book and in real life.
