About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I, too, went to Australia as an exchange student. I didn’t expect to come back with much more than a good tan and a backpack full of good memories. Instead, I came back with a boyfriend from rural Indiana.
#2 I noticed that, parallel with the hard-core outdoor culture, there were forces at work in American society that seemed to create a divide between humans and nature. I didn’t reflect on what all this might mean if we were to have children.
#3 In Scandinavia, it would be easy to make excuses for not going outside. The northern part of Scandinavia, which comprises Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, experiences a polar night every year for twenty-seven days, peaking with the winter solstice in late December.
#4 In the summer, the weather can be a toss-up, with temperatures sometimes hot and sunny in the south, but often cool and rainy in the north. As a result, Swedes are constantly on the lookout for good weather, and when they find it, they take advantage of it.

#5
The government is also heavily invested in promoting outdoor recreation for children and adults alike as a preventive health measure. The idea that fresh air and outdoor play are crucial to good health is so prevalent that it has even found some unlikely champions in the pharmaceutical industry.
#6
I was never a natural with children, and I knew it. I was more interested in listening in on the adults’ conversations than in playing with their kids and their Barbies. I was excited to have a child, but I knew I would have to learn about parenting.
#7
In America, mothers don’t have the luxury of staying home with their baby. They must do it on their own dime, and most go back to
