BeneathCori DoerrfeldFinn is upset and unwilling to discuss it when Grandpa suggests a walk. Wrapped in a blanket, Finn joins him in the woods and along the shore. Grandpa points out what lies out of sight: roots below trees, fish under still water, eggs beneath a nesting bird, and things whose hidden parts remain unknown.
