Shelve it

Going to the cottage can be like travelling to your own tiny piece of the world. Cottage country whispers messages to us through the call of the loon, the wind sighing in the trees, and the hammering of a pileated woodpecker on a tree. But urban lifestyles block both adults and children from the lessons of nature. Our increasingly nature-deficient youth need more opportunities to see, hear, and feel the natural world, and to understand that all of us are part of it. After all, bush country is Canada's heritage.

As family places for fun and relaxation, cottages provide time and solitude to reflect on how to make the world a calmer, less argumentative place. This book will bring you on a journey through the four seasons and teach you that nature has a remarkable power to heal itself - it just needs the human race to give it a helping hand.
