Reviews

“In this unique resource, Claire offers a clear and compassionate framework that encourages children and young people, alongside their parents and carers, to explore emotions, tune into their senses, and communicate openly. Through this process, feelings are gently channelled into forming a deep and lasting connection with the natural world. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone seeking effective and accessible ways to help young people understand their place in the world. Simple yet insightful, it provides a powerful approach to nurturing a meaningful relationship with nature, a timely and hopeful remedy for a generation that increasingly feels anxious and disconnected from it.” - Martin Foakes, Chair of Outdoor Forum for South East Asia Schools and Independent Outdoor Education Consultant
