Diary of a Young Naturalist by Dara McAnulty

4.0

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I support the messaging! I didn’t find this diary a particularly intriguing read, but I didn’t want to return it because I’ll happily support the author. It was nice to relate to someone who cares as much (and feels as enraged) about nature as I do.

Reading about the natural world from the perspective of someone with autism was enlightening and makes me more motivated to notice the little things about wildlife. I love Dara’s relationship with his family; how beautiful and fortunate he is to hike, camp, read, travel and explore with them.
