Encourage Toddlers to Explore Nature, Build Confidence, and Learn Through Play
Introduce toddlers and preschoolers to the beauty of the world outside with this outdoor-themed 4-book board book set--perfect for early learning at home or in the classroom. Featuring children living in urban environments, this nature-themed collection encourages outdoor exploration, sensory awareness, and emotional development through simple, relatable stories.
Each book follows two young cousins as they experience the outdoors, green spaces, and plants and animals around them--feeling the wind, watching squirrels play, listening to birds sing, and standing tall like trees. These gentle adventures are designed to help children develop key early childhood skills like mindfulness, self-awareness, teamwork, and communication.
Parents, caregivers, and educators will appreciate the thoughtful storytelling, diverse city settings, and built-in prompts for conversation. Each book also includes fun activity ideas to inspire hands-on learning and play.
Titles Included:
This set is part of the Outside Our Window Board Books series--thoughtfully designed to inspire children to explore, protect, and delight in nature, wherever they live. Each book highlights one element of the natural world, one sensory focus, and one social-emotional theme, making this series a valuable addition to any child's home or preschool library.
Working at the intersection of nature, literature, and culture, Mélina Mangal's writing highlights youth whose voices are rarely heard, and the people and places that inspire them to explore their world.
She is the author of short stories and biographies for youth, including The Vast Wonder of the World: Biologist Ernest Everett Just, winner of the Carter G. Woodson Book Award and named an NCSS/CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People.
Mélina also works as a school library teacher in Minnesota and enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, whether it's in her backyard or hiking in the woods.
