The following "Celebrating the Natural World" bibliography is a gift to you!

My love affair with stories and the natural world has led me to search for great books that emphasize wonder, beauty and creativity. I also created it because people often ask me where they can find stories to read to their children, use in their classroom, for further study and give as gifts.

There are 6 sections: Story Collections, Individual Stories (Picture Books), Teaching Guides and Resources, Reference Books for Children to Young Adults, Reference Books, Videos and Tapes for Adults and Storytelling Resources.

If there are any books for which you would like any further information, please ask and I will be happy to help. If you know or find any books that you think should be included, please let me know.
