Wow. This book took me places. I wasn’t expecting it to hit me as much as it did but wow. It’s more than a nature book. It’s more than a book to include your kids in the natural world. It touches upon so many things and written so so well I just couldn’t put it down. It exceeded my expectations and then some !! And can we just appreciate the humour the author has too? He had me laughing out loud (and tearing up goddamnyou!) but I was hanging off every word.
I think I must have annihilated the book in a day as it was so effortless. Easy to pick up, easy to read and easy to keep reading. It felt like a privilege that Richard was sharing these memories with us, the memories and moments of his family and his experiences. And one that I am grateful for.
The topics were broad and interesting, with smatterings of influential literature that Richard has found throughout his life and for his kids. He touched upon so many important subjects with ease and without preach, from eating meat free to climate change. Everything written was to point out and state and not to attack which is always appreciated when reading books on such difficult topics that people can easily take offense over either way! So kudos.
It’s a book that I would read again no doubt. It’s worthy of its five stars and worthy of some shelf space! Loved it.
Thank you to the author and publisher for this book on NetGalley in return for my honest thoughts and review.
