Host Denise Schwartz talks with author and illustrator Christine Copeland, whose picture books reflect her delight in introducing young children to the wonders of nature through gentle prose and beautiful watercolors. She believes that when “children grow to understand the natural world, and the relationship that animals have to each other and their environment, the more they can embrace and steward it.” We also talk about how creative work of any can lead to greater physical and emotional well-being for people of all ages.
Be sure to look for Christine's book series online and give each installment the five-star review it deserves on Goodreads, Google, and Amazon!
