This is a great way to get in a nature mindset, and ready for Earth Day in April! Many books and activities about nature featured in our Family READ guide! https://iue.libguides.com/FamilyREAD/EarthEnvironment

Lovely words from author Margaret Atwood to celebrate the first day of spring: “In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

To celebrate the arrival of spring, we've featured 35 of our favorite girl-empowering books about springtime and gardening in our blog post, "Mighty Girl Books Celebrating Springtime & Gardening" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=11501

Since playing in the dirt isn't limited to kids, we recommend the "You're Never Too Old to Play in the Dirt" T-shirt for adult women at https://www.amightygirl.com/never-too-old-to-play-in-dirt-shirt

For two fun books about Mighty Girls who love to dig in the dirt, we recommend "My Garden" for ages 3 to 6 (https://www.amightygirl.com/my-garden) and "How Does My Garden Grow?" (https://www.amightygirl.com/how-does-my-garden-grow)

For books for young readers about the importance of protecting the natural world, visit our special feature on "Top Children's Books on the Environment" at https://www.amightygirl.com/mighty-girl-picks/top-children-s-books-on-the-environment

And, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere and recently welcomed the arrival of autumn, you can find seasonal fall books in our post, "Harvest Time! Fabulous Fall Mighty Girl Books" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=13023
