Readers are invited to rediscover the beauty and wonders of their own landscapes, urban and rural.MY THOUGHTSWhat a glorious book, filled with gorgeous stories, poetry, photos, and illustrations on reclaiming nature in our lands. This is a collection to cheer for, savor, read and reread, proudly display on a coffee table or nightstand or in a coffee shop, and give prominent display in libraries of every kind. Stunning and life-changing!🌼 Big hugs to Jane Clarke, who responded so kindly when I requested a review copy; and to publisher New Island Books, who is sending a hard copy too. Thrilled! Thanks also to Catherine Cleary and illustrator Jane Carkill.
