Lovely exploration of nature and life submitted by sara.samuel on June 29, 2023, 5:43pm This is a beautiful book. It consists of short essays that often read more like poetry. The author talks about specific creatures and plants, and connects them to specific parts of her life.

Gorgeous submitted by manz on April 28, 2024, 11:51am What an amazing book. I love the words, the stories, the facts, the illustrations. This is one I bought for myself, and also plan to give as gifts.
