book list from nature day forest school – spring 2023

In addition to our lesson and fabulous activities, I make sure to have a basket of books available at our gatherings. To continue to topic but also to allow our families a space to get away from the crowd if necessary.

Shoutout to Pinterest for the book recommendations and our library was HUGE in making sure we had the books.
