About this title

Synopsis

Even in winter weather, children can still explore the outdoors in this book inspired by the Forest School movement that teaches young children how to engage with nature from season to season.

A Field Guide to Winter is a pocket-sized introduction to the winter season. Building on children’s natural curiosity about the world around them, this book aims to establish a connection with nature at an early age that will go on to last a lifetime.

Track paw prints through the snow, make your own woodland wind chimes, identify evergreen trees, and write a bedtime story for a sleepy bear. Discover how snowflakes form and why some animals hibernate in winter.

This book features lyrical poems, hands-on crafts and activities, scientific facts, and identifier pages to help children find different animals and plants. Whether a child’s access to nature is in the form of an urban park, a private garden, a field, or a forest, there is so much to discover and experience.

Illustrated in color throughout
