Learning in Bloom is important book on early childhood and also a practical one for teachers and others who want to be sure the young ones in their care have a chance to play in nature and learn from the wonders they will discover there. The author's work is grounded in a respectful ethos of taking time to listen to children and kindly guiding by example. (Miller Library Staff)

In the full-color Learning Is in Bloom, teachers and caregivers will find 40 hands-on activities effective in engaging young children in investigating nature, both indoors and outdoors, on the school grounds, and on excursions around the neighborhood. Through fostering a love of nature, the activities promote all areas of early childhood education and development. Readers will learn how to support child-directed explorations within all kinds of learning in a nature-rich setting, including: Science investigations Mathematical thinking Art explorations Literacy development.
