Our story
Wild Little Naturalists is made by Life Along The Way Co, a family of four who decided to change everything. Not long ago we were both working full time in Switzerland, and time with our kids was whatever was left at the end of the day.
Three weeks of wild camping in the mountains of Norway showed us how little we actually need. We came home, sold almost everything and moved into a small camper. Living simply means we can work less and spend our days outside, following whatever our kids are curious about.
And they ask big questions. Why does the moon change shape? Where do frogs go in winter? Why is frost sparkly? We wanted ten minutes of real nature science we could do together at a picnic table, in a campground or at home, with no prep. We couldn’t find it, so we started making it.
The camper is a chapter, not the destination. We’re working toward a simple home somewhere wild, with a wood stove, room to learn at home and forest right outside the door. Every pack you bring home helps us get there.
Every guide is written for ages 3–7. The facts are checked against government science sources like NOAA, NASA, the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service, and listed on the last page. If a fact can’t be backed up by one of those sources, it doesn’t go in.
What we care about
Real facts only
Government science sources, cited in every guide. No myths, no guessing.
Ten minutes counts
Short enough for a busy day, rich enough to spark the next question.
Outside first
Every guide sends you outside to look, listen and notice.
Made by a family
Written, tested and coloured in by real kids before it reaches yours.
