Outdoor Visits

Step into nature's classroom with Don and Nan in Edith Patch and Harrison Howe's delightful book, Outdoor Visits. As the seasons turn, young explorers meet bees, birds, trees, tadpoles, and more-learning to appreciate the quiet marvels of the world around them. From goldenrod in the fall to chickadees in winter, bluets in spring, and snails in summer, each visit encourages children to slow down, look closely, and wonder. With gentle storytelling and warm-hearted guidance, the book celebrates careful observation, respect for nature, and the joy of seasonal change. Simple questions throughout prompt children to reflect, remember, and notice what's outside their own door-turning each chapter into an invitation for discovery. Perfect for families and educators who value outdoor learning and quiet curiosity, Outdoor Visits inspires a lasting love for the natural world.
