“Nature calms the child,” says Jen Congdon, “A Good Day for a Hike makes that world feel accessible and inviting—sparking curiosity, excitement, and wonder for the world around them–rain or shine, day or night– whether it’s a hike through the forest or a stroll along the coast.”
Whether read aloud or tucked into a backpack for a real-life hiking adventure, A Good Day for a Hike is a gentle reminder that every day is an opportunity for adventure and joy in the outdoors.
