Ginny didnt ask me to endorse this book. I asked her if I could because Im such a big fan of her work. This is an important book today, but I believe it will be even more important tomorrow and next year. Why? Because its going to get easier and easier to isolate inside as technology continues to give us avenues to hide from the great outdoors. What will you find in this book? An invitation to explore. An invitation to be brave. An invitation to be different. An invitation to answer that quiet voice in your heart that says, Could we go back outside? You can. You should. You must!
