“A child’s world is fresh and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. If a child is to keep alive his/her inborn sense of wonder…..he/she needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it with him/her, rediscovering the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.” - From Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
