A sweet little children’s book about direction and perspective, to help little ones understand things like “up, down, through, into, over,” etc.

Bonus points because it features a snail (my spirit animal guide and one of my favorite creatures).

I also love the snail’s little derpy eyes
The very beautifully illustrated visual journey of a snail that leads to a surprising end.
