The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot
4.0
Oh man, what an interesting little book. Going in, I didn’t know it was written in verse so it took a little while to adjust to that format of writing. This is a cute, if not strange, story.
The story follows Lottie as she explores her newfound love of taxidermy. Personally, I’ve always found taxidermy a bit gross and creepy, but this book actually changed my view. Lottie has a way of describing the art of taxidermy as just that - art. Giving new life to something that has passed.
This book is beautiful and weird and heartbreaking at times. It’s a true representation of growing up in a world full of loss, and finding ways to cope with your grief.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a light story dealing with tough topics.
