Nature's
Course, published by
CCEL, presents ways to use children's literature as a resource
for teaching about the environment and nature through creative
and inspirational means. Published quarterly, each issue focuses
on
a particular theme that can be explored through children's books,
arts and hands-on experience and includes expanded resources for
parents and educators on that specific topic. "For Inspiration" section
of the newsletter comprises descriptions of what children have
actually pursued to improve the world.
