Get Kids Creative Outdoors With Books From Blue Dot Kids Press

I received products in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Living in Chicago we take advantage of every nice day we get and head outside. We do though have plenty of days where its rainy, hot or cold and where you just want to curl up with a good book. My youngest actually loves to bring books outside with her and read while on our swingset.

Blue Dot Kids Press is a brand new children’s book publisher that has come out with books all about connecting readers with nature. They pick books to empower the next generation of global citizens with empathy, resilience, creativity, and the shared value of nature and its stewardship. 

Just in time for summer fun, Blue Dot Press has come out with a great selection of books to check out.

Under My Tree

A modern take on Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree that celebrates the friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree. 

When Susanne leaves her city home to visit her grandmother, she finds a very special tree of her own in the forest. Each time she returns to the tree, she observes something unique about it—from the sheltering protection of its branches to the scratchy surface of its bark.

This is a wonderful introduction to trees for young children that gently cultivates an appreciation for nature. Interwoven in the fiction text are unique facts about trees and simple activities that encourage readers to touch, smell, and observe the world that is all around them.

Leafy Critters

A unique and practical children’s arts-and-crafts book, perfect for those who love Eric Carle, that looks to the natural world for inspiration and artistic materials. 

Artists of all ages will be awed by flower petal pigs, turtles, and snakes rendered in bright green leaves, and a full menagerie of clever, astonishing, and simply ingenious creative project ideas.

An exuberant call to head outside, Leafy Critters inspires a deep appreciation for nature, art, and animals. Perfect for parents, teachers, and anyone searching for novel projects to engage kids of all ages.

Who Will It Be: How Evolution Connects Us All

If gills appear, will it be a fish? From fish to frogs to humans, Who Will It Be? introduces Darwin’s theory of evolution, exploring connections between humans and all life on Earth.

Vibrant illustrations and eye-catching primary colors transition the story, driving the young reader’s curiosity as they try to discover Who Will It Be? An appendix includes in-depth information about evolutionary science—perfect for parents facing the age-old question: Where did I come from?

Ivy Bird

Introducing an array of beautiful birds to young readers, Ivy Bird is a celebration of the natural world. Perfect for reading aloud, children will love the search-and-find element of the book, its bright illustrations, and the exuberant story. A non-fiction element, two pages bursting with colorful bird illustrations, encourages readers to seek out birds in their own backyards.
