Preserving the Joy of Childhood

Food is more than a commodity. It is also a community. What you eat literally becomes you. Every bite connects you to the world.
Ocean Robbins, Co-founder of the Food Revolution Network

In their inspiring new book, Bringing the Outside In, authors Sandra Duncan and Jody Martin discuss the philosophy of inquiry based learning that is supported so well by experiences with nature:

"These experiences are not about learning basic concepts and achieving common core standards—although learning will absolutely happen. Rather, they’re about discovery, imagination, and curiosity; conversations and collaborations with and between each other; exploring and getting to know the natural world inch-by-inch and bit-by-bit; preserving the joy of childhood; and experiencing the glorious world of nature."
