In her signature style and drawing on her personal experience as a mother, gardener, and author, Amanda Thomsen encourages kids to create kingdoms of their own making, right in their own backyards. With whimsical projects for every season and any setting, from forest to pavement, fun-seeking kids and their families will rediscover the yard as a place for inspired play, using repurposed materials and existing features of outdoor spaces. Whether they’re creating tiny gardens inhabited by action figures, weaving a secret hideaway out of a loom of twine and twigs, or setting sidewalk cracks on fire with Coffeemate, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBackyard Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e lets kids of all ages turn their yards into a place they can call their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmanda Thomsen is the author of \u003ci\u003eBackyard Adventure \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eKiss My Aster\u003c\/i\u003e as well as a mom, a Girl Scout troop leader, a garden maker, an adventure planner, and a rule breaker.
