Testimonials
"At a time when more children spend their days trapped indoors than ever before and the country finds itself in the middle of an obesity epidemic spiraling out of control, Kelly Johnson's book is exactly what we need at this very critical moment to reconnect children to the wonder of nature and the magic of the garden. This is a practical handbook for teachers, parents, and children of all ages on getting lost in the garden and rediscovering the joys of growing food, eating well, and making each day an outdoor adventure."Richard Villadoniga

"Kelly Johnson is an inspired children's nature educator and her passion for critters, plants and the outdoors is infectious. She brings this inspiration to 'Wings, Worms, and Wonder" with fun and practical suggestions for teachers and parents alike. As a gardener, teacher, and beekeeper, my own sense of wonder is renewed!"
Peggy Nolan

"We are all children of the dirt! Kelly Johnson's smart and accessible book neatly capsulizes the disconnect from the natural world that denies too many children a life filled with wonder. Better yet, she offers hands-on solutions to help bring meaningful connection with nature back into the lives of our children, Kids and gardens are an idea whose time has come - again."
