I was newly informed, challenged, provoked and importantly made to chuckle through the bookI hope this ends up on all Forest School, indeed any outdoor, practitioner's shelves, and in their hands! This should be seen as part of more autistic inclusive discussions within the whole learning sector. -- Jon Cree – Director and founding chair of the Forest School Association, also Training and Alternative Curriculum Co-ordinator for FSC Bishops Wood Centre
This is an important book that fills an existing gap between forest school practitioners and autistic people and those who support them. James draw on his vast personal experience to connect these two communities in a brilliantly honest, practical and person-centred way -- Alison Oldfield, Senior teaching associate, University of Bristol
