Synopsis

An indispensable guide for families that want to live in deep, joyful connection with nature all year long.

Authors Emma Frisch and Jana Blankenship have a strong friendship that blossomed around their shared experience as mothers, nature lovers, and advocates for simple, healthy living.

• 55 food and beverage recipes (Chinese Lunar New Year dumplings, etc.)

• 52 personal care and wellness recipes (nettle hair rinse, forest bathing bath salts that follows the Japanese tradition of shin-rin-roku, or Japanese forest bathing, etc.)
