Listening to Our Nature
In Our world.
There is a lot to navigate for a young maturing conscious being.
The intention of my books are to take a moment of a child’s day and
place them at the centre
of the
UNIVERSE.
To respect their integral significance
and
natural intelligence.
And to acknowledge what children intuitively know...
PLAY
in
NATURE
...is the source of deep learning,
and
in fact the key of
EVOLUTION
itself.
Juel Maerz
Nature is within us
...evolving.
