What’s New at Kinwood Echoes

A space to share what is unfolding at Kinwood Echoes—from new stories and programs to upcoming opportunities to connect with nature.

I’m very happy to share that On the Way to School — A Rav & Shi Story is now published and available.

On the Way to School grew from years of ordinary family walks to school—walks filled with squirrels, earthworms, rain, conversations, questions, disagreements, discoveries, and the small things we might otherwise pass by.

Written especially for curious readers ages 7–12, the book is also for families, parents, grandparents, educators, caregivers, and anyone who walks alongside children—or simply enjoys noticing the world with them.

The story invites readers to discover how much can unfold along a familiar path when we slow down, stay curious, and pay attention.

Published August 27, 2026. Now available on Amazon.ca.
