Telling Tales Festival

On Demand

Age / Grade 4-6 / Kindergarten 6-8 / Grades 1-3

In this new video, Laura and her daughter Ruby share four beautiful picture books about the role of nature in our lives. Although they are written for kids ages 3 to 8, the themes are great for everyone—including adults.

In two of the books, the characters—and the readers—are immersed in the natural world. These books remind us that being outside can be like a treasure hunt. All we have to do is pay attention to the world around us.

The other two books show us how nature can help us through big changes in our lives, like moving to a new place or remembering someone we love.

After watching this video, you might even be inspired to take your favourite book outside!
