Grab the kids and enjoy a free read-aloud of Nye In February, now available on Anchor, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
The Little Green Hill series is a new project that is near and dear to my heart.
This nature-based, year-long picture book series celebrates our little piece of earth, our love of reading, and the connections we have made over the years. Most of the characters are based on actual animals we have gotten to know.
The stories focus on one new piece of Nye’s environment each month, but touch on other topics along the way. For instance, food production and seasons are discussed along with wood frogs in the first book, while finding ways to compromise and get along are featured in the second.
These are picture books with substance, meant to appeal to a wide range of ages, and the downloadable PDF that comes with the book includes projects, activities, and resources for the whole family. Reading aloud is a wonderful way to experience a story, so it was important to me for families to be able to share both the story and the supplementary materials and gain from everyone’s input.
The companion packet for each book will explore the main topic further, through projects, activities, and resources, as well as other related themes. There are multiple areas of study covered, including science projects, art, health, language arts and more.
Come join in the adventures at Little Green Hill!
