We Were Tired of Living in a House by Liesel Moak Skorpen. I haven’t ever read the newly illustrated version and I’m sure it’s also lovely but I love the 1960’s illustrations by Doris Burn.
Hi! I’m new here and just found your Substack—so good! I’m writing about the chaos and joy of virtual work life (think Zoom calls + school pick-ups). Come say hi at The Virtual Life if you’re curious!
Love this list !! Thank you
May I add my latest, Fairy Walk, from Candlewick Press? All about exploring outside!
Fairy Walk is a dream!
Oh thank you!!
GAIA CORNWALL 🙌 I haven't had a chance to read it myself yet but I'm here for any book you write, and Fairy Walk looks fantastic.
Happy to send you copy:) I’m sure you must be perpetually drowning in books, but let me know!
This is true, but what a problem! 😉
awww yay!

Roxaboxen is my all time favorite. Great list!
Roxaboxen is one of our favorites too!
A great list 👏🏾😁💜
A great list and what a great collaboration.
Love this list for summer! We love Up The Mountain Path by Marianne Dubuc. Inspired my toddler to always find a walking stick!

I am HERE for this collab, and this list!!
This list is wonderful! We love “Hiders Seekers Finders Keepers” by Jessica Kulekjian. It offers (maybe new?) ways to notice things in the woods.
I love a good book list! Thank you!

Love this topic! My book Screens Away, Time to Play encourages outdoor play too. Let the summer adventures begin.
What a fun list! Just reserved a bunch of these at our library. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the chance to guest post, Elizabeth!
Such a good list! Another one we love is Mud! by Annie Bailey
Oooh, I don't know that one -- thanks for adding!
