Last Child In the Woods

I just finished reading this wonderful and eye opening book from Richard Louv. It is a must read for all parents. Richard Louv talks about the disconnection between our children and nature or nature deficit disorder. His book started a national movement and inspired Leave No Child Inside initiatives all around the country. On Friday, September 19th the U.S. House of Representatives approved the No Child Left Inside Act of 2008.
