World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments by Aimee Nezhukumatathil

5.0

This book is wonderful! Full of short stories of love and wonder to plants, birds, animals, insects, fish, the changing of seasons, and of places. I wish more people did this - demarcated their life by their memories of Planet Earth, like when you captured your first firefly by hand or when you first saw a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis or when you first saw a coral reef your first time snorkeling, rather than based on material & professional accomplishments. What a gift! I'll be sharing this book with many friends.
