When used with children it can become a science or art curriculum. Anyone who is interested in journal writing will love it.

“Karen Rackliffe’s new book, Wild Days, Creating Discovery Journals, will inspire you and your children to keep your own nature journals. The many beautiful illustrations that adorn this book are taken from Karen’s actual nature notebook and those of her  children. I highly recommend this lovely book to those interested in recording their experiences with nature. Start your nature notebook today!” --Penny Gardner, author of Charlotte Mason Study Guide
