Needless to say, our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered. But there is a ready solution: get outside! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA homeschooling mother of five and founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside.

I asked \u003ci\u003eher\u003c\/i\u003e if I could because I'm such a big fan of her work. This is an important book today, but I believe it will be even more important tomorrow and next year. Why? Because it's going to get easier and easier to isolate inside as technology continues to give us avenues to hide from the great outdoors. What will you find in this book? An invitation to explore. An invitation to be brave. An invitation to be different. An invitation to answer that quiet voice in your heart that says, 'Could we go back outside?' You can. You should. You must! At least until the streetlights come on.\"--\u003cb\u003eJon Acuff\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eSoundtracks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yurich Ginny Med\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540903400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540903402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Yurich Ginny Med","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130364948735,"sku":"9781540903402","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_198f0a6d-0c51-4d28-b2d5-b8f8f5d1ff16.jpg?v=1687468976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/until-the-streetlights-come-on-ginny-med-yurich-9781540903402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
