“Nature’s magic keeps many of us young at heart. Children who use this book properly risk living a life so full of adventures they just might forget to ‘grow up.’”
Michael Oswald, author of Your Guide to the National Parks
“This wonderful book is full of inspiring things for children to do outdoors. See an endangered species. Identify animal tracks. Go stargazing in the middle of nowhere. Go on an amazing day hike. Skip a rock across the water at least 10 times. Oriented to the 8-12 age group, authors Stacy and Jack Tornio offer five easy steps to accomplish each of the activities covered in the book. One fun fact about the authors is that Jack Tornio is Stacy's teenage son. Throughout the book, Jack adds a kid'sperspective, offering tips on making each of the activities more enjoyable.”—National Outdoor Book Awards
