Critics Review
“Wow! What a great book for the up and coming herbalist on your gift list!”
“Walking the World in Wonder gives children descriptions of 67 common plants and herbs, all grouped by the season in which they appear. Useful for beginners of all ages. Older readers may also be interested in the book’s introductory history lesson, “The Wheel of the Year,” which tells of ancient herbal traditions.” * Elizabeth Hockstad, Amherst Bulletin, Dec 2000 *
“If you’ve been looking for a way to introduce your child to the responsible medicinal use of herbs, this is the book for you. Children will enjoy seeking out, gathering and mounting the pretty but furtive plants featured in the book. In short, a book for the whole family.” * *
“Not only is this book beautiful, my kids love it! That is the whole point of the book, introducing children to herbs.
