The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane

5.0

I was given this book as a gift, and WHAT a gift. Such a beautiful thing, the illustrations so breathtaking, the poems/spells so alive and magical. Technically I suppose this is a children's book, but beyond that, it's a TRUE book, a book we desperately need, all of us - a book that breathes connection to the wild beings we've lost our relationships with. It's a book we should all be reading aloud in reverent voices to our children, to our elders, to the trees in our back yards.
