It's Here! New Gift of Green Time Book
I’m excited to announce the official launch of my second book, just in time for summer. The Gift of Green Time: 50 Ways for Families to Disconnect (and Reconnect) Outdoors, Door County ™ is on sale now.
For all the families who are sick of screens and seeking adventure, look no further. The Gift of Green Time is a handy guide for families who want to experience all the benefits nature has to offer and have a lot of fun in the process!
The Issue
As a parent educator, I noticed how so many kids (and parents) were forgetting how to have fun outdoors. One of my family’s favorite spots in the world is Door County, so I decided to write a book that inspires today’s young and old to spend time together in this special place.
Spending time outdoors with children is more important than ever before as today’s kids have more screen time than green time. While toddlers can swipe a screen, few have tickled their bare feet in the grass. Teens are tech experts, but how many have camped under the stars? Technology is a valuable tool and one that is here to stay, but its magnetic quality threatens to draw our children inside where family members are consumed by their own devices. Kids are less active, family dynamics suffer, and a new generation loses its connection to nature.
The Solution
Spending time outdoors together is fun, inexpensive, and restorative. You can give your child “the gift” when you take a walk after work, go on a picnic for dinner, spend a hot summer day at the beach, or stop to smell the flowers. These are simple, yet powerful ways to connect with nature and your kids. Although the book was written with Door County, WI in mind, you can easily adapt the activities to your family’s hometown or favorite vacation destination.
You have the power to give your family the gift of green time. Take this guide along on all 50 adventures and watch your family experience a closer connection to each other and to the environment. Get outdoors and discover the magic of Door County. Disconnect and reconnect in nature – it’s the gift of green time.
