Description

Hands-on nature activities for the budding transcendentalist Author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau is best known for living two years along the shores of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.

He is also known for spending a night in jail for nonpayment of taxes, which he discussed in the influential essay "Civil Disobedience." More than 150 years later, people are still inspired by his thoughtful words about individual rights, social justice, and nature.

His detailed plant observations have even proven to be a useful record for 21st-century botanists.

Henry David Thoreau for Kids chronicles the short but influential life of this remarkable thinker.

In addition to learning about Thoreau's contributions to our culture, young readers will participate in engaging, hands-on projects that bring his ideas to life.

Activities include building a model of the Walden cabin, keeping a daily journal, planting a garden, baking trail-bread cakes, going on a half-day hike, and starting a rock collection.

The book also includes a time line and list of resourcesbooks, websites, and places to visitwhich offer even more opportunities to connect with this fascinating man.
