Reading this is like sitting down for tea with your best friend. Greta is so encouraging, pushing you to take the risk and embrace the adventure. But she is also realist that adventures, especially with kids, are hard. It's in those hard places that we forge stronger bonds. Curl up to laugh and cry.

This is a lovely Christian book about how to go on adventures big and small with your children. I have a long history of going on lots of adventures with my kids but I still found it helpful and inspiring.

The author is very encouraging and relatable and offers advice for starting out and expanding on those early adventures. I love that she focuses on ways that families of all incomes can adventure together, even spending days at the local beach and using books, classes and non-traditional "adventures" to do family adventures together.

She gives great advice throughout and her gentle parenting examples are sure to inspire positive memories. For instance, she talks about what to do when kids don't want to carry their backpacks after a while when they're hiking and starting out. She points out that some parents would just bring things for them but that gets heavy for one parent to carry everyone's stuff, and that some parents would just make them carry it but then they may not feel as excited about ever hiking again. She suggests cheerfully giving them a break for 5 minutes in order to be a support person, which is generally enough that they can then happily go back to carrying it. I love how this meets kids needs and also teaches them to be self sufficient and not just rely on mom or dad to do all the work.

Lots of additional sections give advice on starting adventure clubs and book clubs, visiting places like museums together, hiking with kids and much more. This is a really delightful little book that has me inspired to start doing even more adventures again with my kids.

I read a digital ARC of this book for review.
