For kids.

Children are much better naturalists than adults. They notice everything. They have not yet learned to walk past the dandelion without looking at it. The ones who get to spend time outside, with someone who takes their questions seriously, become the adults who keep paying attention later.

These pieces are for those kids, and for the adults who are trying to make space for that kind of attention. The pieces are short. They are specific. They assume the kid is smart and curious, because every kid is.

If you're an adult reading these, they may be the cleanest entry point into the publication's voice. The simplest pieces are sometimes the truest. We write to children the way we wish someone had written to us.
