There’s a reason "explore" has become such a popular theme in classrooms.

We believe exploration should be more than a theme. It should be an invitation to experience something for yourself. A hands-on experiment, a state park, a hiking trail, a creek down the road, a new city, or simply a patch of woods in your own backyard—there is a whole world waiting to be discovered.

Embers & Acorns combines literacy and learning with my books, maps, and adventures designed to spark curiosity and get kids looking up from the page and out into the world. Because the best classroom might just be the one outside.
