Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature has been hailed by Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, as "good medicine for nature-deficit disorder." The first edition quickly became the essential guidebook for mentors, parents, teachers, camp directors, and others wanting fun and exciting ways to connect children (and adults!) with nature.
Now, the completely revised and updated Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature, 2nd Edition has been released. Written by Jon Young, Ellen Haas, and Evan McGown, Coyote's Guide 2nd Edition is an even more valuable resource for reconnecting people to the natural world.
Based on feedback from nature mentors and educators around the world, the second edition is not only more comprehensive it s grown from 408 to 548 pages but it s much easier to use, with beautiful full color photographs, a comprehensive index, and color codes that link the principles and activities for easier navigation.
Coyote mentoring is a method of learning that has been refined over thousands of years, based on instilling the need-to-know. Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature, 2nd Edition reveals this approach and what happens to student and teacher during the mentoring process. Strategies like questioning, storytelling, tracking, mapping, and practicing survival skills will inspire student curiosity and encourage self-sufficiency. Background information will help parents, teachers and others feel more confident in introducing children to new ways of experiencing and learning about the natural world.
As naturalist Jon Young writes in the Introduction, "Experience has taught me that Coyote Mentoring, working on so many levels, is by far the most effective learning and healing journey I have yet to encounter. I have seen people fully connect to the birds of their landscape, discovering hawks, foxes, and owls with the help of birds and other animals."
Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature, 2nd Edition will change the way you walk in the woods, whether by yourself or with your children.
