Hike
Picture Books, Wordless Picture BooksTake to the trails for a celebration of nature – and a day spent with Dad. In the cool and quiet early light of morning, a father and child wake up. Today they’re going on a hike.
Follow the duo into the mountains as they witness the magic of the wilderness, overcome challenges, and play a small role in the survival of the forest. By the time they return home, they feel alive – and closer than ever – as they document their hike and take their place in family history. In detail-rich panels and textured panoramas, Pete Oswald perfectly paces this nearly wordless adventure, allowing readers to pause for subtle wonders and marvel at the views.
A touching tribute to the bond between father and child, with resonant themes for Earth Day, Hike is a breath of fresh air.

Jo –
HIKE by Pete Oswald – an (almost) wordless picture book, although the only words are sounds – the story describes a father and child going on a hike, and all the action takes place in the space of one day, from waking up to going to sleep – a beautiful calm story, with lots of detail and room to make up your own story – there is a lot of love in this book, a celebration of fathers. Gorgeous illustrations – especially the light through the door on the first spread.
