Nature and Me is a beautifully written book, by The School of Life, about the lessons children can take from nature.

Each chapter has a theme, which is something linked to nature e.g. The Himalayas, and each theme links to a valuable life lesson, such as learning to appreciate time to ourselves, mindfulness, and the power of imagination. The book has a warm and comforting tone, is well laid out and is supported with beautiful illustrations.

What I particularly like about this book is that it doesn't gloss over life. In an age appropriate manner it tells children that sometimes things don't go the way we want them to or that sometimes people are mean, but through the valuable lessons it gives through the examples of nature, it really does teach children coping mechanisms for these hardships.

We often hear that nature is important and we must protect the planet, but this book shows us exactly how important nature is, particularly for what it teaches us. Whilst, this is a book aimed at children's, I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult. I learnt some things I never knew before, other things I did know before were shaped into a new way of thinking, and I came across reminders of things which I just needed to hear right now.

Overall, Nature and Me is a book which we can all benefit from as it not only points out the beauty of nature, but teaches us lessons of what we can take from it.

What a wonderful book for children which helped me learn so much as an adult too!
Interesting facts about everything around us - thoroughly enjoyed it.
