Shlomo: A beautiful and convincing biography and argument in favour of sharing childcare with nature

Emily: The way someone feels about this book is going to be so personal. Some people will read it and think it’s a no brainer and move on, others will probably say that they’d never do this because they don’t have time (you probably do), and others will adore this book.

I am one of those that adores this book. I needed this book.

I’m not outdoorsy. It’s not that I can’t admire the beauty of the outdoors or go hiking or anything, but I’m terrible at making it a priority. This book reminded me how silly that is.

This book is something I definitely want to look towards when raising my family. It reminded me of the importance of outdoors, the importance of embracing risky play and dirt (I cringed a little. I prefer to not be covered in dirt 😂), and the physical and emotional benefits of being outside no matter the weather. I hope that I can really lean in on that, especially as the mom of a boy who already seems to be pretty active. I want to embrace as much of this book as I can in my daily life.

Highly recommend this read, whether you’re a parent or not. I think it’s a good reminder of why we need to turn off our screens and get outside.

LISA M. TOWNSEND: Excellent book, couldn't put it down. This book is not just for parents, but anyone that has kids in their life. I found myself getting angry reading about how here in the US we are essentially ruining children's childhoods and grateful that I grew up in a time when kids had their own lives outside and were not micro managed and over scheduled. I really hope this country starts making significant changes for the sake of the children here.
Overall an excellent read, with great ideas, so grateful to this author for living these ideas and writing this book.

Devon Osbaldeston: This was not exactly what I was expecting from the book, but overall I enjoyed it and it was informative.

Anastasia: J'ai lu avec beaucoup de plaisir ce livre. De plus, au fur et à mesure de lecture j'ai commencé à appliquer aussitôt les conseils de ce livre. Par exemple nous pouvons bien lire les livres aux enfants sur un petit drap sur la pelouse. C'est plus cool et profitable pour tout le monde. Nous sortons plus souvent maintenant. Et une fois ma fille de 2 ans commence à faire un bazar à la maison-alors direction l'extérieur et elle se défoule là bas pour redevenir une fille sage après.
Ce livre était vraiment très intéressant. Je le recommande vivement.

Mom of 3 Boys and a Lil Lass: There's No Such Thing As Bed Weather by Linda Akeson McGurk is the first of 5 books I asked Santa to bring related to getting kids outside, embracing nature, encouraging more physical and outdoor activity, and the likes. Reestablishing our love of the outdoors and increasing our healthy outdoor time is one part of my 2020 mission for our family and our homeschool!

Linda McGurk is a Swedish-American journalist and free-lance writer, and the mother of two girls: Maya (7) and Nora (4). She and the girls leave their home in Indiana to spend six months in Sweden while Linda's father undergoes chemotherapy. She enrolls the girls in Swedish schools (they're already bilingual), and sets out to expose them to a childhood that she remembers fondly from her earlier days - including lots of time spent outdoors - while meeting and interviewing Swedish parents on their perspectives on childhood, education, nature, and environmentalism for her book project.

There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather is a well-written, easy-to-read book. I read it in two days! I was fascinated by the freedoms the Swedish kids enjoyed, and with the amount of time they spent outdoors, even though Sweden is...

Juliet Robertson: This is an easy-read account of a Swedish-born mother who takes her American-raised children over to Sweden to live there for six months. It provides an insight into both cultures and the prevailing attitudes and approaches to childhood, parenting and being outside. The author has been incredibly honest about her own fears, values and expectations. It fills a niche about parenting and outdoor issues. At the end of each chapter there's some useful reading and comments throughout the book are referenced at the end. Also, because of my busy schedule, I was able to pick the book up and continue where I'd left off which is a rare treat.
