“What a magnificent journey it is into the magic of childhood and our exquisite connection with nature. I think this is a book that would benefit every parent who wants their child to be connected to the earth. I really enjoyed reading it and wish my kids were still little to take them on this journey. I will definitely be sharing it with the guides at my school. Well done on such a beautiful offering to adults and children everywhere."

"Finally a book specifically created for Australian families and educators!"

"As an avid nature lover this book made my heart sing so loudly. This very special book has been created with so much love by Lidia. She follows the flow of nature over a year in Australia with a profound sense of presence and celebration. I loved this book so much and can't wait to do some of the activities with my grandies. Thank you Lidia."
