Last Child In The Woods

I have been reading this amazing book, called "Last Child In The Woods"
It's very inspiring and reinforces us to let our children roam free in the woods.
Here is a quote I love from the author, Richard Louv's first chapter.
"If,When we were young,we tramped through forests of Nebraska cottonwoods, or raised pigeons on a rooftop in Queens, or fished for Ozark bluegills, or felt the swell of a wave that traveled a thousand miles before lifting our boat, then we were bound to the natural world and remain so today. Nature still informes our years-lifts us,carries us."
Natures gifts stay with us all our lives to heal us, inspire us and give us peace.
