A Field Guide to Nature

A Field Guide to Nature Synopsis

A charming field guide inspired by the Forest School movement, teaching young children how to engage with nature from season to season.

A Field Guide to Nature is a pocket-sized introduction to all four seasons, inspired by the Forest School movement. Building on children's natural curiosity about the world around them, this book aims to help young readers establish a connection with nature that will last a lifetime!

Hunt for seedlings and learn about the water cycle in spring; discover how caterpillars turn into butterflies and build your own sundial in summer; make art from fallen leaves and identify mushrooms in autumn; track paw prints through the snow and write a bedtime story for a sleepy bear in winter. There is so much to explore and do in each season!

This book features hands-on crafts and activities, scientific facts, and identifier pages to help children spot different animals and plants. Whether a child's access to nature is in the form of an urban park, a private garden, a field, or a forest, there is so much to discover and experience.
