2019 Nature Book Club Themes & Book Selections

You don’t have to spend too much time around here to know that we love books and we love exploring nature. I’m sure you can imagine how much we also love when these things come together!

One of our favorite ways to bring these things together is through the Nature Book Club.

Not familiar with our Nature Book Club? It’s a monthly book club devoted to connecting children to nature. Through this book club, several of my blogging friends and I share nature book and activity-related links that center around our chosen monthly topics. 

To give you an idea of what this looks like, here are a few of my favorite Nature Book Club highlights from 2018.
