1 author picked Out of School and Into Nature as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Anna Comstock story shows us a girl who loved the natural world. She was a naturalist and an artist who was determined to encourage schools to take students outdoors to increase their interest in nature.

I love a book that shows passion for wildlife and the environment. Anna’s story does just that.
