Reviews

"This book is an absolute must-read for parents." - The Boston Globe

"[The] national movement to 'leave no child inside'…has been the focus of Capitol Hill hearings, state legislative action, grass-roots projects, a U.S. Forest Service initiative to get more children into the woods and a national effort to promote a 'green hour' in each day…The increased activism has been partly inspired by a best-selling book, Last Child in the Woods, and its author, Richard Louv." - The Washington Post

"Last Child in the Woods, which describes a generation so plugged into electronic diversions that it has lost its connection to the natural world, is helping drive a movement quickly flourishing across the nation." - The Nation's Health

“This book is an absolute must-read for parents.”

“Louv’s provocative new book…is raising debate and tough questions nationwide.”

“An honest, well-researched and well-written book…the first to give name to an undeniable problem.”
