Author Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods July 30, 2008

Please note the date of this event has changed. We currently have his books on sale in the store so you may come buy one at any time and bring it to Hoyt Sherman to get signed (skip the line at the event!) We will also be selling his book in the lobby the night of the event. Here is information about the book:

Richard Louv was the first to identify a phenomenon we all knew existed but couldn't quite articulate: nature-deficit disorder. His book "Last Child in the Woods" created a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and his message has galvanized an international movement. Now, three years after its initial publication, we have reached a tipping point, with Leave No Child Inside initiatives adopted in at least 30 regions within 21 states, and in Canada, Holland, Australia, and Great Britain.
