Kim Allyson Freier & Rebecca Rothman, Wild Heart - KIDS BOOK LAUNCH!

Through lyrical language and enchanting illustrations Wild Heart transports young readers to wilderness landscapes across the globe – from majestic mountains to mysterious rainforests, golden canyonlands, frozen tundra, arid savanna, to the ocean depths and more. The allure of these captivating places fosters a deeper understanding of belonging to the family of life on earth. But is wildness found only in faraway places? Where do you find your very own wild heart?

Throughout her career in environmental education and civic engagement as a university professor and program administrator, museum director, outdoor educator, interpreter and organizational leader, Kim Allyson Freier, Ed.D has aspired to guide people deeper into their intrinsic and reciprocal relationships with the natural world and with each other. Her long-held dream has been to bring the wonder of wilderness into children's minds and hearts and to nurture their delight in, kinship with, gratitude for and responsibility toward the earth's abundant gifts.
