Get Your Boots On
by Alex White
Alex’s book is a joy to look at! One of the first images of Alex is a picture of an interaction between him and a red squirrel. It speaks a thousand words and it really makes you realise the importance of getting out and connecting with nature.
He says he wants the book to be: ‘a well-thumbed-through, creased, dog-eared guide lounging at the bottom of a rucksack’.
This book is full of inspiring photos but it’s not for the coffee table, it is to be used, and he wants a generation of teenagers to read this book, be inspired and get active!

Review
‘This fabulous and important book. It’s good, it’s inspirational and – critically – it’s heartening’

Mini interview with Alex White
Muddy Faces asked Alex a few questions about his favourite outdoor things...
Outdoor childhood memory
My first outdoor memory is badger watching with my parents. I think I was around 3 years old. I couldn't sit still and was so excited when the first black and white face appeared. Even after seeing badgers 100s of times, I still get the same feeling.
Alex's top tip!
Set a little time aside each day to spend outdoors. Whether it's an hour long walk exploring or 5 minutes in the garden, you'll be amazed at the wildlife you can spot.
