That’s one reason I put together some books to help you get in the mood to celebrate the outdoors, encourage a love of the outdoors with your kids, and how to get started if you’re overwhelmed. The important thing to remember is that it’s not a competition to see who can be the best outdoorsy family. Even just a walk around the block with your kids, or a trip to the park or the local farmer’s market can help spark a love for nature. Once you start noticing the little things, and make space for small outdoor excursions, it does get a little easier, I promise! (Don’t forget to take plenty of water and to use sunscreen!). If you’re looking for even more books about the outdoors and nature, check out this post full of YA books about the Earth, and this post on children’s picture books about nature.
