May brings warmer weather, flowers, and a great time to bring a book to a park or natural area and read outside!
Readers can get into the spirit of adventure with The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Heart of the Grand Canyonby Kevin Fedarko. Coconino County is unique in that it includes Grand Canyon National Park and part of the Colorado River. After the snows, we are experiencing higher than usual river levels. This book invites you to look back to another high-water time, the flood of 1983 and one of the most thrilling river trips of all time!
Young adult readers may enjoy Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults by Robin Wall Kimmerer, the YA companion to her best-selling Braiding Sweetgrass. The book invites readers to look at the natural world through the lens of Kimmerer’s background as an Indigenous woman and a botanist. As spring blooms, readers may use this book to appreciate the plants around them!
Children can embrace exploration with Outside Your Window: A First Book of Nature by Nicola Davies and Mark Hearld, a beautifully illustrated book about the changing of the seasons and noticing the natural world. It’s a perfect book to take on a walk in a park or natural area!
