Long ago, rivers flowed far and wide, stealing soil from the mountainside. Intermittent floods would rise and fall; Soon, nutrient-rich floodplains covered all.

Author and educator Neil Rosen is passionate about the transformative power of books on children and their families. He writes books that unite families and empower parents, caregivers, and children to impact their community positively. Neil's latest project, Can You Read Nature? encourages families to spend more intentional time outdoors to nurture future generations of environmental stewards.

Can You Read Nature? Guides are designed for the entire family. From curious 5-year-olds on their first hike to grandparents rediscovering the natural world, our guides will enhance their every experience. Read before you go, see ten times more when you are there. Museum-quality Illustrations by professional artists make every page worth lingering over, the young attracted by the bright colors, the experienced drawn to the incredible detail in the artwork.
Books in the Junior Adventurer series are crafted for early readers and young explorers, with reading and science levels perfect for ages 5–10 and clearly marked on the cover. All other guides are written for families, hiking buddies, and nature lovers of any age, layered so that children grow into them and adults never outgrow them.
