Linda Åkeson McGurk is the author of two books: There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids and The Open-Air Life: Discover the Nordic Art of Friluftsliv and Embrace Nature Every Day.
Linda is a Swedish American writer who passionately advocates for the Nordic outdoor tradition called friluftsliv. She’s written two books, which I already mentioned, and runs the blog “Rain or Shine Momma” where she shares tips and inspiration for outdoor play everyday, regardless of the weather. And I don’t think these tips are for kids alone. They’re also for the forgotten child inside of all of us who still need free time outside every week.
Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, The New York Times, The New York Post, Huffington Post, and Psychology Today, and more.

We often equate myths with fiction. I’m going to introduce you to a new perspective by showing you how scientific knowledge was often embedded in ancient star stories. Star stories were more than just children’s fables to entertain the family around the campfire at night.
