ysabetwordsmithThis article mentions a drop in nature as portrayed in children's books. However, I've seen other articles about a shift in buying patterns, such that old classics are more popular than recent releases. Maybe that will help counteract this trend.
When I write for children -- I've done some poems and a few stories -- I generally aim for a sense of wonder. I find nature fascinating, so it's common for me to pick that as a theme. "Your Friend the Stick" appeared in Nature's Child ezine last year. I'd like to see more people using nature, not as a preaching point, but just as a place to explore.
