On this day, Gu Yu drove to a peach forest by the Yellow River, and saw a family picnicing by the river in the distance, and the children around them were trying to fly kites, and several attempts were unsuccessful, but the laughter continued. It's nice to be able to relax in nature! These books to recommend today can help you open up a new perspective to observe nature, and I hope that in nature, whether adults or children, they can show their true state.
Reverence for nature
See the beauty and importance of life
For this trip, Zhang Yajun, a member of the picnic, specially prepared a magnifying glass, glass bottles, tweezers, double-sided tape, and a notebook with blank pages. When I opened the book, there were already some specimens of leaves and flowers, which she said had been collected by the children themselves when they took the children out to play. Later, I developed a habit, as long as I go outdoors to play, I will definitely do some collection, on the one hand, I can sort out the knowledge points, on the other hand, it is also the best witness of every time I am close to nature.
In Zhang Yajun's view, children's hearts are pure and full of interest. From the dewdrops after the rain, to the flying dragonflies, to the vast sky, they are curious about everything and can record nature in their own way. Sometimes adults will be ashamed of this.
"The pandemic has brought us challenges, but at the same time, it has also prompted us to think deeply about how to live with nature." Zhang Yajun said that as a mother of two children, she herself has more and more realized that rather than letting children remember the popular science knowledge in nature, it is more important to establish a connection with nature, maintain the desire for natural exploration, and appreciate the beauty of nature more deeply. "This is also what we lack, so I hope to recommend some books that inspire us how to get close to nature, so that we and our children can see the beauty and importance of life together."
Understand nature from different perspectives
"I have bought children this set of books "Magical Nature" before, which is really tailor-made for children, including "Kiss Nature", "Explore Nature", "Earth Partner" and "Friendly Earth" A total of four volumes, each volume of five stories. Each story revolves around Werther, the Saif family, and the protagonist, the Elf. Zhang Yajun said that "Kissing Nature" uses the way of the story to open the child's senses such as sight, hearing, touching, and smelling, leading the child to appreciate the beauty of nature, and each story involves more than 30 kinds of animals and plants, coupled with a meticulous and beautiful description of the environment, so that the child has the urge to enter nature every minute after reading it." Several other books also teach us to understand nature from different perspectives. ”
Muzi, a teacher who does nature education in Yinchuan, said that many parents are prejudiced against nature books and feel that they are for their children to read, in fact, a good book often has no age limit, and readers of different ages will draw their own nutrients from it and feel different reading pleasures. If you are stuck in the boundaries of children's books and non-children's books, whether children or adults, they will lose a lot of good encounters. For example, the book "Hand-drawn Cloud Map" introduces 28 common clouds, which is an introductory book that can identify clouds and look at the sky with children. Muzi said that this meteorological science book from France has elaborated on various forms of clouds, and is accompanied by a large number of pictures, intuitive and clear at a glance. Through this book, children can obtain knowledge about clouds and grasp the relationship between clouds and general weather, which is a rare high-quality meteorological book.

Feel the nature around you, it's a lot of fun
What's so interesting about nature in the book? As an associate researcher of the Ningxia Forestry Research Institute, Zhu Qiang is almost in the field and in the forest on weekdays, this time we specially consulted him, recommended books from different angles, and showed us different nature, as well as ways to be friends with nature. "There are songs in the wilderness", "natural wild fun DIY", "the big forest", "go to the wild"... Each book can open a door to the unknown world for children and adults, and people are happy to feel the nature around them.
For example, in the book "DiY of Natural Wild Fun", the author collects natural materials with rich natural experience and aesthetic foundation, and completes many artistic creations such as painting, printing and dyeing, so that people can reproduce the beauty of nature and increase the joy of life in this way. Zhu Qiang said that many parents are now taking their children to do "rubbing", and in this book, the author specially introduces the rubbing content in a single chapter, "The book introduces leaf rubbing, animal footprint rubbing, leaf vein fossil monuments, of which leaf rubbing is the simplest." Zhu Qiang said that although the production materials are simple, it is a science to select "leaves" suitable for rubbing. For beginners, leaves with prominent veins are the best choice, and leaves like the common guava and water hemp are the best rubbing materials. "A lot of other things that interact with nature are detailed in the book."
Through these vivid and interesting, beautiful and simple nature books, it may not be difficult to be friends with nature.
