Excellent book club book.  How early should we expose kids to the dark side of climate change and animal persecution?  What are the implications of training on someone else's brains?  `Scary how much has come true of a book written in 2022 in today's politics.  Some really interesting exploration of maybe connecting us to nature emotionally in order to fell fuller and to give us impetus to help our world,  animals and us included.
