Midwest Book Review March 2019

From Rae: 

The world outside is full of wonders, just step out into nature and feel the pull of curiosity, exploration, and the pull on our hungry outdoor spirit.  After reading Gran, Gran, Granny grab those those walking shoes or kick off those indoor shoes and let your feet explore a patch of green in the great outdoors. Scientists tell us that we feel better after a walk in the woods, although they haven't learned yet just why that is. Why wait...discover for yourself and adopt a special place to give you a best-day-ever kind of feeling after every visit.
