Encourage your children to get outside together with this beautifully designed and illustrated nature-spotting book from Fine Feather Press. The range of 'Let's Look' titles will help children aged 4+ to learn about nature and to realise its importance to the world in which we live. In Let's Look on the Farm, find out more about the farm animals that farmers keep, the sounds they make as well as the food they grow including fruit and vegetables. Crammed with fascinating facts, each book contains stickers and a special pull-out scene to decorate.
A Piece of Passion from Andrea Pinnington, co-founder of Fine Feather Press “Although it’s easy to believe there’s no place like home for keeping children safe and content, there’s a growing realisation that a lack of engagement with the outdoors can have a significant detrimental effect on children’s overall happiness. Large organisations, such as the National Trust, have identified Nature Deficit Disorder as a very real condition that is negatively impacting childhood. Our books tackle this head on. They are all about getting children to look at animals and plants in new and exciting ways, to learn their names and to find out what makes them special.”
The discovery that being cooped up in the house is not a healthy situation for children will come as no surprise. The challenge is to get children outside in the first place. The next four titles in Fine Feather Press’s Let’s Look series are designed to do just that.
These new titles focus on familiar UK habitats that parents all over the country can spend time exploring with their children. Each book forms the perfect introduction for children aged between 4 and 8 years old and features some fascinating facts, a range of easy and hard animals and plants to find and tick off; plus some eye-catching stickers to play with on the fold-out scenes at the back of the books.
FINE FEATHER PRESS is owned by Caz Buckingham and Andrea Pinnington who have spent many years prior to this creating books for other publishing companies. At last they are thrilled to announce the launch of their own list. Caz and Andrea explain that learning about nature is as important as learning how to read and write, but combining the two is even better! “We keep on meeting people who say they wished they’d had these books when they were growing up. Well we can’t fix that, but we can nurture the next generation and give parents of today an alternative to bland branded books.”
The aim of all their titles is to encourage children to understand and enjoy nature. All the photographs that appear in their books have been taken by them. When not in front of their computers, they can be found, cameras in hand, scouring the countryside for interesting things to add to their database.
