Dear Aunt Bea: A Journal of a Journey is about a ten-year-old child whose family migrates from the flat American Midwest to the mountainous Northeast for a change of lifestyle. Without sibling, pet, or friend, Jimi makes daily solo treks through the neighboring meadows, hills and forests to collect nature treasures for art and study. With a growing, keen curiosity about the new environment, Jimi decides to explore many questions and observations by writing in a journal to a trusted adult (Aunt Bea). Reflecting on climate changes, how people interact with each other, and what is everyone's place in a community habitat, Jimi creates some answers and finds some unexpected, beautiful friends.
