| Words and Music |
Author, illustrator, musician, composer, naturalist, wilderness guide. . . it is hard to pin a label on Douglas Wood. Many know him best from his classic children's books like Old Turtle and Grandad's Prayers of the Earth; others from CDs or concerts or keynote presentations around the country.
What connects it all is a passion to communicate in words and music the wonder and mystery to be found
in the natural world and in the human story.
Welcome to Doug's website. Enjoy your visit. |

| Nothing to Do? |
|
 Sometimes, unscheduled time can be the most important time of all, and doing “nothing” can be the most important thing to do. Doug’s newest book explores the myriad things there are to do – to explore, to dream, to discover – when there’s Nothing To Do. |
