Inhaltsangabe

Many guidebooks will tell you where to go with your family. But, what are you supposed to do when you arrive? And, how will you get out the door with a child dragging his feet? Let the Kid Guide shares accessible activities for all who want to be more present and connected, to the world and their loved ones. The approach is fresh, forgiving and fun. Explore how to delight in the rain; unplug to plug-in; bring the outside in; and how to usher these skills into more mundane aspects of our lives, in the check-out line or the office. Join seasoned educators, Lisa Kosglow and Margot Angstrom, and whimsical visual storyteller, Sarah Uhl, as they share their approach and activities that cultivate a sense of wonder in the natural world, trigger creativity and gather everyone playing outside, together.
