Strongly prefer the first title, personally finding the word ecology inviting as it connotes systems and science and this title centres the child. Paired with ‘adventure’ secondly it feels actionable and vibrant. Number 2 ‘Earth Wisdom’ to me anchors the appeal in more of an esoteric and generic place, situating the book on an (already heaving) shelf ministering the wisdom of nature. The tone of that title feels less urgent/now/fresh and doesn’t excite me. Just my two cents on what’s cued!

Sounds Great! To simplify and appeal to target audience that may not know they want to be transformed, how about - Nature Wisdom: Adventures in Ecology for Children and Their Adults

Ace news. Just an observation.. Knowledgey or facty Books with questions in their title seem to sell well and engage curiosity. Eg the book "Does Anything Eat Wasps?".

Just a thought and don't drop anything on my advice but maybe worth checking out / considering?
