The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places by Gary Nabhan, Stephen Trimble

4.0

I really did enjoy this book. It is comprised of essays about how children relate to nature. One of the interesting things that was mentioned was how adults seem to look at the big picture (think Grand Canyon) while the children were looking at the small things (think pebbles, feathers, etc.) It also talked about how children in rural areas are more connected to nature than children in more urban areas which makes sense. This was non-fiction but not dry. It was quite readable.
