What a delightful collection of stories - so beautifully written, and which feel so effortless. I admire Nezhukumatathil's admiration of beauty, excellence, and nature that far surpasses my own in an inspiring way. I found myself both moved and educated. The art really is beautiful, too.
This book had been on my list for a few years and I'm glad I was finally able to pick it up and relish in its pages.

This is very much a lyric memoir in essays for me. It is so simultaneously heartbreaking and utterly lovely. For me, I left feeling more familiar, which is to say closer, to the author, her family, and the world we all live in. A great balance of the personal and the profound in such relatively small spaces. I learned so much about the natural world too!
The paragraphs read like a film reel for me, which signal so many images that include a space for me and you to sit in. We are invited to wonder. What a gift.
Thank you, Aimee!

Wow! I just want to bury my toes in dirt, camp in the unknown, picnic in the sun, and explore the forest. What a great read when enjoying nature or you feel like you want to be more connected to nature. The author mentioned how children these days are less connected to the outdoors and I agree. I also feel like adults need to connect more with nature. I don’t even know common plant/animal names in my area. Something I hope I can explore this summer.

"we are all connected."
the power of wonder and curiosity allows for the world to be our greatest, most tender teachers.
