Get Outdoors: A Mindfulness Guide to Noticing Nature (Everyday Mindfulness)

Two siblings take a mindfulness approach to investigating and enjoying nature through their senses.

It’s a beautiful day, but Jada and her brother Michael are staying indoors—until Dad invents a game to get them exploring nature: whoever notices the most interesting things is the winner. At first, they just see grass and flowers. But by slowing down, looking closely, and using all of their senses, they soon begin to notice lots more about the natural world. Through practicing mindfulness this way, Jada and Michael find that small things they might not have noticed before seem so much more interesting.
