THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER A Scandinavian Mom's Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids [From Friluftsliv to Hygge]

There's no such thing as bad weather--the author reminds listeners--only bad clothing. Narrator Ann Richardson strikes a pleasantly informative tone as she conveys Linda McGurk's insights. McGurk, raised in Sweden with an "open-air life" and an appreciation for the outdoor world--finds herself at odds with American culture when she tries to rear her own two daughters with a "no bad weather" approach in Indiana. Offering an attractive balance of personal anecdotes and careful, sometimes-sobering, research, McGurk's work is eye-opening, compelling--and full of useful suggestions. Richardson's gently persuasive manner imbued with touches of light humor makes for an encouraging listen that will have parents getting their kids outside to experience and appreciate the natural world.
