Being surrounded by greenery, wildlife, and fresh air is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective-and neglected-ways to de-stress and boost wellbeing. This book introduces young readers to nature's five "key ingredients," which can provide cognitive and emotional benefits. From observing the branching patterns of roots and leaves that mimic our own anatomies, to the power of sunlight, rainfall, and birdsong, readers young and old will discover how to notice and appreciate what nature does for them, their minds, and their bodies.
Each of these key ingredients is explored through a range of simple, relaxing activities that children, parents, and carers can do in their favorite green spaces, including:
- Making a paper cone to listen in on the goings on inside a tree
- Creating beautiful works of art using only natural materials
- Feeling the lovely squelch of mud between your toes
Dr. Alison Greenwood is a psychologist who worked for many years within the NHS. Frustrated by the scarcity of mental health provision and on realising how effective nature-led therapies could be to address a variety of mental health conditions, she set up the charity Dose of Nature, to offer ecotheraputic treatments and wellbeing workshops for all ages. It swiftly became a go-to resource for GPs and psychiatrists referring patients from within the NHS, and offers a range of courses and workshops for adults and young people.
Anneli Bray is an illustrator, artist, and maker based in the North West of England.
