A child can feel like a bystander to nature for so many reasons: the screens in their hands, the pavement under their feet, or a world that treats the outdoors as a place to visit instead of a place to belong.

Yet a closer look or a longer listen can change that. What once seemed like background becomes a source of wonder—and the world beyond their window starts to feel like a world worth caring for.

And so, two nature-nurturing storytellers are helping young readers understand their place in the natural world—and find the heart to protect it.

We cordially invite you and your little ones to join David Newell (who played the beloved Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood), along with our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest, for Episode #65 of PR From The Heart’s Neighborly Reviews Bookcast, as they spotlight Patricia Newman’s Beatrice and the Nightingale (published by Margaret Quinlin Books/Peachtree Publishing Company) and Jyoti Rajan Gopal’s Arctic Adventure: A Tundra Tale (published by Feiwel & Friends/Mackids Books).

Join us in celebrating Patricia and Jyoti by bringing home your copies of Beatrice and the Nightingale & Arctic Adventure: A Tundra Tale—and enjoying these empowering reads with the entire family:
