About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to turn a simple outdoor stroll into a mindful, sensory adventure for your child. It is perfect for those moments when a child seems disconnected from the physical world or when you want to foster a deeper appreciation for where our food and natural materials come from. This fact-filled guide follows a sensory-led walk through a working farm, encouraging children to look for 'treasures' like tufts of wool, various grasses, and feathers. It combines gentle observation with foundational agricultural science, making it an ideal choice for building vocabulary and sparking a sense of wonder about the environment. Targeted at children ages 3 to 7, it serves as both a calming read-aloud and a practical field guide for your next trip to the countryside.
