An unforgettable middle-grade adventure about family, patriotism, nature, and the power of perspective.
When Cody begins a journey of self-discovery on a summer trip to visit his grandfather, he doesn’t anticipate the adventure that leads him to Pocahontas County’s unique giant kaleidoscopes. Not only is he mesmerized by them, but he also discovers powerful life lessons hidden in everyday places–honoring the American flag, protecting the beauty of nature, strengthening family bonds, and learning that how we see the world shapes how we treat it.
From county parks and historic structures to quiet lakes and community gathering places, each stop reveals something deeper. Through the turning discs of each kaleidoscope, Cody learns that even small actions–casting a finishing line, replacing a worn flag, encountering a pinecone family–can add value to the world in ways we may never fully see.
Perfect for readers ages 8-12, this heartwarming Iowa-based story celebrates:
- Family connection
- Small-town values
- Respect for country and community
- Environmental stewardship
- Growth through perspective
Sometimes, when the kaleidoscope turns… so do we.
