Nurture Through Nature with Children’s Books

Delve into the Museum of Childhood’s book collection and explore the links between wellbeing and nature introduced to us through books from an early age. This exhibition will look at how stories and the exploration of nature come together in our childhood experiences. Flowers, trees, animals, insects and birds feature heavily in children’s books, set in both the real world and imaginary worlds.

Children’s books from the last 150 years will be on display with beautiful illustrations, poetry and  information about how to find green spaces throughout Edinburgh. The positive influences of nature on mental health and wellbeing will be examined alongside a programme of public events for children and families.
