Encouraging kids away from computers and the TV into the natural world, this fun-filled book lets them use their imaginations and discover the wonder and value of natural materials, as they have a go at making their own entertainment from whatever is available outdoors. With an emphasis firmly on fun, this activity book is jam-packed with instructions on how to make anything from a cricket bat to an ice lantern, as well as suggestions for expeditions, games and parties outdoors. From making things that fly to playing hay bale games, fashioning monsters from wet clay to trying stone jenga, creating living willow sculptures to making natural jewellery, this is the perfect book to help encourage children to embrace the great outdoors and create amazing fun things from natural materials.
Fiona Danks is an environmental educator and author who works with her writing partner Jo Schofield to create beautiful books about the natural world. Fiona and Jo believe that reconnecting everyone with nature is vital if we are to understand our reliance on a healthy and biodiverse natural world, and ensure it is protected for the future. They believe that all children and families should regularly spend time outdoors in green spaces where nature can weave its magic upon them. Together they have been writing and photographing the Going Wild books for the last fifteen years. Through their books and website, they inspire families everywhere to get outside and become immersed in the natural world. They have run events, lead training courses for teachers and environmental educators, presented at conferences as keynote speakers, written articles, and they are helping to build the Leaves for Life Campaign (@joinleavesforlife) to raise awareness of the ecological emergency. Their latest book Make This Book Wild was shortlisted for The Week Junior Book Awards for best Illustrated books. They both live at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire, where they enjoy natural history, walking and exploring the local countryside.
