Solitary Animals : Introverts of the Wild by Joshua David Stein

adventurous informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

I mistook this title for another novel, but it was nice in spite of the surprise. The art work is beautiful and you get to learn about animals and that even if you haven’t found a pack yet, it’s ok because we all have our place in this world even if we go through it differently. I wouldn’t give it five stars because I don’t think it feels particularly touching or think it would turn into a Children’s classic.

 Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you—and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing else does.”

Perhaps a little more magical realism than I’d like. Also, I’m just not into sibling romances.
