Nestlings Bookclub
Nestlings is our nature-based family book club, created to inspire a love of literature while fostering meaningful conversations and connections with the natural world.
Together, families journey through a thoughtfully curated collection of both beloved classics and modern stories. We seek stories that encourage wonder, resilience, empathy, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
Each gathering includes a guided book discussion followed by hands-on activities inspired by the story. These activities often incorporate nature exploration, art, crafts, simple herbal and/or seasonal connections that bring the pages to life.
Whether your family is just beginning your read-aloud journey or has loved books together for years, Nestlings offers a welcoming community where stories become shared adventures.
