Jessica's Swamp

Everyone has a special place, a spot where they feel comfortable and happy. When she wasn’t outside under her tree, by her pond, at the beach, by her stream, in her field, enjoying her mountain, or in her garden, Jessica loved being in her swamp.

As she enjoyed one relaxing afternoon along its edge, Jessica wondered, “What does a swamp do?”

Playing, imagining, and exploring around her swamp, Jessica sets out to find out what just makes her swamp so special.

Through vivid imagery and heartfelt prose, J. Bailey explores what it's like to have a special place outside where one can learn, grow, and discover in this beautiful children's nature book.

J. Bailey brings exquisite imagination and a sense of wonder to this marvelous story that will inspire readers of all ages to learn and explore in nature, finding their own special places inside and out.
