Using Following Sasquatch with young readers

This book works well beyond the page. A few ways to extend the experience:

Nature journaling — After reading, head outside and invite children to sketch or write what they notice — a leaf, a sound, a patch of light. Sasquatch is a good model for paying attention.

Leave No Trace — Use the story to introduce the idea of treading lightly. What did Sasquatch do to take care of the forest? What can we do in our own outdoor spaces?

Creative response — Invite children to draw their own forest creature or write about an animal they’d like to follow through the woods.

Exploring your own place — The forest in this book is an invitation. Take it outside wherever you are — a backyard, a park, a trail.
