Everyone has a favorite spot. A place where they feel comfortable, a space to think, a place all their own. For many, that space is in nature, with its sounds, smells, and sense of freedom and the chance to move. The place where we can learn about ourselves.But grown-ups aren't the only ones who benefit from the great outdoors. Children also reap the rewards of nature-calmness, curiosity, connectivity, and empathy starting at a young age. I have had the chance to witness this firsthand from Colorado to China. Through my time working in outdoor education, I have seen the good that being outdoors can do for kids. Whether it's breathing in the fresh air, stretching their legs, ordeveloping social-emotional skills, every child deserves the chance to experience nature's benefits.The ability to understand the world around us begins at a very early age. Bringing a young child outdoors instills a sense of curiosity and wonder, teaches problem-solving and effective communication, and helps develop a sense of responsibility. These benefits don't stop with school readiness; they translate into skills your child will carry through life.Each child is different and will profit differently from their time outside. But most important, parents and children should spend the time outside together. I say "parent" as a shorthand for all guardians, grandparents, siblings, or other caregivers. It doesn't matter what role you play in the child's life; what matters is the connection you create by spending time together. Sharing that time together outdoors deepens your bond and creates a lifelong relationship with one another and the greater world.This book will show you creative ways to grow your child's relationship with nature and discover its joys. The activities in these pages require few materials (and those that are necessary are inexpensive items you can find around your home). In addition, you won't have to spend a lot of time preparing for these activities; most require little more than reading the instructions and stepping outside to experience the joy of nature. And the activities are designated by level of difficulty: one leaf for easy, two leaves for medium, and three leaves for challenging. If a particular activity or part of an activity is too challenging for a younger child, feel free to adapt it to fit your child's age level and abilities.Finally, always keep safety in mind. Remember: no touching or chasing animals; stay away from poison ivy and the like; be careful around water; watch the weather; dress appropriately for the season; wear sunscreen or protective clothing; use bug spray; hydrate; wear sturdy, comfortable footwear; and take plenty of breaks.With this book you will embark on a journey of growth together, whether through developmental milestones, bonding, or learning skills for a lifetime. The first steps of this journey stretch beyond the pages of this book, to the hiking trails, mountains, fields, beaches, and forests you and your child explore. Have fun on your journey together!

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
