Have you ever wanted to take a nature walk with a naturalist? And what if this naturalist was also a poet, who would regale you with verse as she points out the flowers that brave the cold of November and the moss used for beds and pillows in Lapland.

I’d like to invite you on a year’s worth of wondrous walks with Florence M. Haines. Her book, The Changing Year, first appeared as a monthly series in The Parents’ Review. Each Walk combines history, myth, etymology, Shakespeare, poetry, and science, together with what you might find in nature that particular month.

It makes for a fascinating read-aloud, or listen to the mellifluous voices of @antonella.f.greco & @jennifertalsma via podcast. Find it here.
