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. Using stunning photography as well as the author’s own original illustrations, The Curious Nature Guide will inspire you to use all of your senses to notice the colors, sounds, smells, and textures of the trees, plants, animals, birds, insects, clouds, and other features that can be seen right outside your home, no matter where you live. Sketch or write about one exceptional nature image each day; learn to identify cloud types and the weather they bring; or create a record of what you see each day as you walk your dog. Easy, enjoyable, and enlightening, these simple exercises will transform your view of the world and your place within it.

      Leslie's latest (Keeping a Nature Journal) offers a guide for reconnecting to the world through nature. The activities can be as simple as stepping outside the house or office, counting to five, and noting what the sky, trees, or insects are doing. Leslie urges the use of all our senses--to smell, listen, look, and feel--flowers, rocks, tree bark, and other aspects of nature that are usually overlooked. She advises taking a night walk or exploring spider webs to enrich understanding of the surrounding environment. Intriguing facts and beautiful color diagrams and photographs pull the reader into desiring to learn more about the great outdoors. VERDICT A remarkable book for solitary reading or sharing with children.
