GeneralDear Parents,
Children instinctively communicate with nature because it provides us with a range of materials and many ways of playing with them. It gives us a world full of surprising discoveries, and varied sensory experiences that children go through either alone or with others. Unfortunately, however, this world has become almost absent in the lives of children of this age. The neighborhood games were replaced by video games that sever the child’s relationship with nature and lock them inside the walls of their own houses.
This book urges us to reclaim what we and our children have lost: to play together in nature and to embrace the open air!
