Teachers, parents, and all who love spending time outside with kids, this book is for you: If you’re leading a nature connection program, or trying to build nature-connected culture in your home or classroom. - If you’ve ever sat around a campfire (or a kitchen table) wishing for the perfect story to connect your community with nature. - If you want to learn to tell a story, rather than just reading aloud. - If you want to take it a scooch deeper, and get everyone involved in a related activity right after the story. - If you want to do all of it with heart. Rowena Conahan co-founded and directed Nature Learning Community, a thriving outdoors education program, for ten years. During those years, she told a story around the campfire, and hosted a veritable circus of activities at every single class. Along the way, she trained numerous new storytellers and outdoors educators, and now...maybe you, too! Rude to a Robin contains: Fifteen original stories which portray people living nature-connected lives. - Fifteen related activities, including survival skills, crafts, games, community building, sensory expansion, intuitive development, and more. - Guidance on how to tell stories and lead activities. - Abundant insight into what it takes to support a healthy nature-connected community (large or small). The campfire is lit, and the folks are gathering up. With Rude to a Robin in your backpack, you’ll be ready to host!
