Jennifer Aist's blog post was featuredBabes in the Woods in the press!
I'm really excited to see my book get a bit of press time. It is in this months' edition of Alaska Airlines inflight magazine and Climbing and Mountain Gazette magazines. Even if people don't buy the book (and I hope they do!) at least they will see that folks can and do take little ones out on adventures at an early age--safely! Get 'em hooked before they crawl I say!Check out the reviews at…See More

Just returned from Juneau, AK. I was down there (2 hour flight from Anchorage) with my son's school. They are trying to pass a bill naming the Malamute as the official state dog. The kids did a great job! Hopefully it will go to vote this session.On our second day, we had a couple of free hours. The kids were given a choice of going to a playground or shopping downtown. I'm pleased to report that 9 out of 12 chose the park! Better yet, they tired of the playground after about 5 minutes to…See More

- Jennifer, I just popped over to the C&NN web site and see you beat me to it and already posted your events. Terrific! I hope you get lots of attendees. And great that you and Carmen made a connection!

Carmen Field said… - Hi Jennifer,
I believe you and I were on the same C&NN website focus group call last week. Nice to hear a voice from up the highway :o) Will your book be available through Alaska Geographic? If so, I can request we sell it down here at the AK Islands & Ocean Visitor Center in Homer. And would you be interested in having a book release event sometime this spring or next fall in Homer? I'm really looking forward to reading it! Cheers, Carmen Field

- Hi, Jennifer. Welcome to C&NN. Congratulations on your book! It sounds fantastic and useful. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I have no doubt it resonates throughout your book.
I'm so glad you posted your events. You might also consider posting them on childrenandnature.org -- we will soon have an integrated calendar, but we don't yet -- and the .org web site is another source for families, individuals and nature clubs. Likewise, if you poke around here, you'll probably also find some local groups and friends -- although I know in Alaska, "local" is a relative term.
I look forward to seeing more of you and hearing about your adventures and book.
