Experiencing Nature With Young Children

There’s a whole world outdoors waiting to embrace young children—with their curiosity, imagination, and enthusiasm—and to impart its treasures. Experiencing Nature With Young Children invites you to explore this world with children from birth to age 8 in ways that will:

• Awaken their enjoyment and appreciation of nature
• Nurture their emotional development
• Enhance their cognitive growth
• Spark their creativity
• Help them discover how we all—people, animals, plants—are connected
• Engage families and communities in preserving nature

Part ballad to nature, part irresistible invitation to teachers, this book will awaken and renew your own joy in nature—and move you to experience it with young children.
