With dozens of simple prompts and exercises, best-selling author, naturalist, and artist Clare Walker Leslie invites you to step outside for just a few minutes a day, reignite your sense of wonder about the natural world, and discover the peace and grounding that come from connecting with nature.

I borrowed this from our library last year and by the time I was finished, I knew I had to own it. It's perfect for anyone looking to get in touch with their inner-naturalist and will help fuel daily curiosity and wonder of the natural world around you.
