Creek Crawling

A child and mother discover all kinds of treasures as they spend a golden summer day together.

On one hot summer day, when it’s too hot to even play, a child and mother head into the woods in search of treasure. They’re creek crawling, the mother says. Will they find the perfect place to swim or maybe a long-forgotten pirate chest? Or perhaps something even more golden awaits . . .

In lyrical text and stunningly lush illustrations, this picture book poignantly captures the joy of discovering treasure in your own backyard and the sweetness that comes from sharing it.
