Rude to a Robin; Stories and Activities for Forest Schools and Families, by Rowena Conahan - Paperback

Teachers, parents, and all who love spending time outside with kids, this book is for you:

• If you're leading a nature connection program, or trying to build nature-connected culture in your home or classroom.
• If you've ever sat around a campfire (or a kitchen table) wishing for the perfect story to connect your community with nature.
• If you want to learn to tell a story, rather than just reading aloud.
• If you want to take it a stooch deeper, and get everyone involved in a related activity right after the story.
• If you want to do all of it with heart.

Rowena Conahan co-founded and directed Nature Learning Community, a thriving outdoors education program, for ten years. During those years, she told a story around the campfire, and hosted a veritable circus of activities at every single class. Along the way, she trained numerous new storytellers and outdoors educators, and now...maybe you too!

Rude to Robin contains:

• Fifteen original stories which portray people living nature-connected lives.
• Fifteen related activities, including survival skills, craft, games, community building, sensory expansion, intuitive development, and more.
• Guidance on how to tell stories and lead activities.
• Abundant insight into what it takes to support a healthy nature-connected community (large or small).

The campfire is lit, and the folks are gathering up. With Rude to a Robin in your backpack, you'll be read to host.
