Ask Scarlett: Can Being Outside Help Me De-stress? is a well written, science-based collection of facts about nature for kids curated by Becky Baines. Due out 5th Aug 2025 from the APA on their Magination Press imprint, it's 80 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents.
It's got colorful punchy graphics and photos, and nature related questions and answers in highlighted text boxes throughout, about 4 per page. Common sense questions (can crystals really heal you, is there any science behind "grounding", how can less screen time lower stress and help focus, what are blue spaces, and lots more) are answered simply and truthfully in age appropriate language.
Five stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, home library, or gift giving. Very high "cool" factor, and full of information.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
