Es un libro hermoso, lo disfruté de principio a fin. Tiene bellos dibujos, fotos, datos, recomendaciones, etc. sobre la naturaleza que nos rodea.
"The creature at your feet dismissed as a bug or a weed is a creation in and of itself. It has a name, a million-year history, and a place in the world." — EDWARD O. WILSON, THE FUTURE OF LIFE
"Nature is not a place or a thing. It is a mosaic, a network, a matrix in which is embedded not only the world’s biodiversity, but also the day-to-day quality of our lives." — CHRIS LEAHY, MASSACHUSETTS AUDUBON SOCIETY

Tons of prompts
Loved all of the prompts in this book. Looking forward to rereading the book and trying more out. At first I thought it wasn't as good as the other nature journal this author wrote but this book was wonderful too.

While not as illustrative or gorgeous as Nature Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of the Natural World, still a great refresher (if a bit more basic even) for anyone who is about to go camping, or hiking, and wants to run through some basic outdoor facts.

I've been reading a lot of nature related literature lately, and Clare Walker's name has come up quite a bit, so I was excited about reading her newest title. It has beautiful art, lots of interesting nature facts, and some great ideas to help you learn to stop and appreciate what's around you.

An excellent resource for helping yourself or your children develop a closer relationship with the natural world using curiosity, mindfulness and sensory awareness.

The Curious Nature Guide is a great book for anyone wanting to reconnect with nature. It is filled with beautiful nature photos and sketches. It is organized into sections titled Begin, Discover, and Connect and each offers ideas on how to explore the natural world around us. The Begin section offers the most basic suggestions like simply taking a few minutes to list everything you can see and hear around you. My favorite idea in the whole book is from this section, making color schemes for each month or season based on what you see out your window. (I have a lifelong obsession with paint swatches and for some reason this sounds SUPER fun.)
Discover involves more involved observations such as naming plants near you, looking for animal tracks, and tracking the weather. If you've been reading my blog for a while it'll be no surprise that my favorite part of this section involves cloud watching.
Finally the Connect section offers suggestions on how to track your observations in a nature journal as well as share them with others. This section also includes suggestions to appreciate nature though nature inspired music and art.
The entire book is peppered with nature facts and quotations and lovely inspiring artwork that makes me wish I could keep that kind of beautiful nature journal. I really enjoyed the entire thing.

I love nearly everything that Leslie produces, and this book is no exception. While not as dense with information and instruction as some of her others, this book is filled with inspiration for getting outside and experiencing the Earth firsthand. Leslie's sketches are (as always) filled with vigor and a little humor, and she collects quotations and other information judiciously. Lovely.
