Based on the popular Ranger Rick® magazine feature, Ask Scarlett is a fun question-and-answer reference book that satisfies kids' curiosity about nature and how being outside can make you feel better. With a fun and quirky attitude, Scarlett explains why nature helps the brain, how it supports creativity, and how it helps kids become planet protectors, along with the answers to dozens upon dozens of other nature and health questions. Once kids know what Scarlett knows, they'll be nature experts—and aficionados extraordinaire. Science continues to show the positive effects of nature on mental health. Magination Press and the National Wildlife Federation® together hope to ease stress through a collection of books showing the benefits of nature for improving mental health, reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and encouraging empowerment for people, communities, and the planet.
