rom the time she was no higher than a daisy,
Anna was wild about nature.

“ O n e o f my joys was going barefoot

She loved to hold it close in her fingers, she
wanted to feel it squish between her toes, which
was why she ran barefoot all summer long, raised

“ O n e o f my joys was going barefoot

f rom early spring until late
aut
u
m
n”.
That’s how she discovered nature’s secrets.
