I Love My Hometown: Recommended by Yuan Longping, an American humanities and nature picture book

I recently watched the reality show "Tell the World I Can", in which there was a 6-year-old girl named Tianxin.

In order for her to become a talented person, her mother enrolled her in 10 interest classes, and her time was fully booked every day with study and classes.

Under the high pressure, the child said aggrievedly:

I don’t like my mother at home, because she is not here, and I can still play for a while.

Sweetheart may be a portrayal of many children. For them, childhood is no longer about running around with friends in front of and behind the house, or catching fish and shrimps by the pond. "After school comes to school" days.

Various online courses and interest classes have taken over children’s lives. They are trapped in classrooms and homes every day, and their living space has become increasingly narrow. Day after day, children are getting further and further away from nature.

American writer Richard Love once called such children "

The last children in the woods." In his view, these children suffer from "nature deficit disorder."

Due to lack of contact with nature, they know nothing about nature, do not know crops, cannot distinguish flowers and plants, and even suffer from

inattention and slow reaction. , prone to problems such as myopia and obesity.

In fact, the Ministry of Education has long noticed the importance of "nature education", so as early as 2001, it proposed to establish

the compulsory course "Comprehensive Practical Activities", and since then The article again emphasizes the need to "enhance children's natural experience."

So, how can we achieve true “natural education”? Just take your kids out to play silly and crazy?

Of course not. High-quality "nature education" is not simply outdoor sports, but must be combined with high-quality courses.

Today, I bring you a set of picture books that are knowledgeable, sentimental, and warm, allowing children to better understand nature - "I Love Me" "Hometown" has 5 volumes, suitable for parent-child reading of 3-8 years old, and independent reading of 8-12 years old.

I don’t know if everyone still remembers the set of "Natural History Lessons in the Fields" that Grandpa Yuan Longping personally recommended when we started the tour two years ago, and our set of "I Love My Hometown" This is the second volume of this series.
