Remember The Adventures of Finn Wilder? Well, Finn has a new cousin, Wyatt, so the new series is Outdoor Tales for Kids! In Book 1, The Mountains, Finn and Wyatt meet for the first time. Their families live far apart, but have a family reunion in the mountains between them. Finn is almost three when the story begins, and Wyatt is a year and a half. They experience a great hike in the mountains and discover nature on the trailside, such as quaking aspens and late-blooming flowers like the purple harebell, Arctic gentian, and wood's rose. Their mamaw also shows them a quartz. At night around a campfire, they see their first constellation--Orion--a full moon, and many stars above the dark pine trees. Soon, they see fireflies glowing around them, and it occurs to them, even at their young ages, how magical the outdoors is.

The Adventures of Finn Wilder series is written for a new baby in our family and will follow him with imagined stories throughout the years. The series is focused on outdoor adventures, bringing the beauty and importance of nature into children's lives while also educating and inspiring them. The second book is Taco, Avocado, Cow! When Finn goes on his first hiking trip to Turkey Run State Park, he is amazed at the beauty of the trees, Sugar Creek, the sky, and other nature around him. He falls asleep in his baby backpack. Voices drift in and out, and he hears his mother say they might be lost. As he starts to fear the situation, his parents begin to sing a song they made up called "Taco, Avocado, Cow" based on his favorite toys when he was even a tinier baby.
