Storytime with Local Author Kypriana Daniels!

The Earth Folk Tales are written for the expanding community of children and families who are reconnecting to nature’s wisdom and finding value in Earth-based knowledge and skills such as foraging, wildcrafting and outdoor survival.

Through an enchanting fairytale-like story, Autumn Forage introduces the reader to key aspects of foraging such as
-embodying respect and gratitude for the plants, mushrooms, trees, insects and animals we encounter on our foraging expeditions
-reciprocity in our foraging
-awareness of the interconnectedness of trees, fungi and herbaceous plants
-a gentle introduction to taxonomy in the glossary at the back of the book
-safety practices such as only foraging with a knowledgeable adult

We hope to see you and your littles there!
