From BC WILD Facilitators list:
As you may know, I am running a nature education program (Nature Journeys) for youth, and I am using a mentoring model developed by the Wilderness Awareness School. I want to let you know about a book the Wilderness Awareness School has published, and it's coming out in October. It's called "Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature." It is for Kids of All Ages and their Mentors, and I thought some of you might be interested in it.
Here is the blurb from the WAS: "The information in this book is part of the magic behind the work we do in our programs. Wilderness Awareness School founder Jon Young and his crew have been working on putting it all into a book for years, and it is about to come out! This book is gold. It's over 400 pages filled with stories and activities that teach all about natural mentoring – no matter what subject you want to share with someone."
"Jon and his team just put out a website where you can learn more about the book. They have a video, as well as a free MP3 with Joseph Cornell, the bestselling author who wrote "Sharing Nature with Children." So, even if you do not want to buy “Coyote’s Guide,” the free stuff they have on the site is really great."
Just go here....
I know it will be a great book to have in our libraries.
Hope all is going well you wild ones!
Best, Patricia
P.S. I forgot to mention that Richard Louv (author of Last Child in the Woods) wrote the foreword to the book.
