Adventures in Nature: Stories, Activities and Inspiration for all the Family [Hardcover]

Through a mixture of original stories and traditional tales, Adventures in Nature offers an abundance of ways for families to connect with the earth.As our ancestors did before us, the book follows the seasons contained in the Wheel Of The Year, with each entry focusing on a story that brings us closer to the natural world, accompanied by simple craft projects, activities and mindful moments.

In our busy, modern lives we have become increasingly disconnected from the world around us, and stories are an age-old way of re-establishing that link, nurturing a love for the environment and embedding awareness and respect for the planet within our culture.

This book allows you to discover your very own adventures in nature through story.
