Filled with delightful quotes and other tidbits, this book on 'the gentle art of learning' provides over 100 examples of what to look for on a nature walk, poems and questions for your own homeschooling journey. More than heartwarming reading, it offers both a practical guide to nature study and a little encouragement for you.
