Birdgirl: Looking to the Skies in Search of a Better Future by Mya-Rose Craig

2.0

No denying she is a remarkable young woman, and I did enjoy her points on climate activism and indigenous justice, but the book itself lacked any real significant depth for me. She does something I think young people are prone to do—bring up a very complex problem but then explain it away with “I got over myself” or “life is a journey.” There’s just not a depth of wisdom to the narrative, which comes from being so young (imo). While she had some pretty descriptions, the writing itself was nothing particularly remarkable. Give me Birdgirl in about 20 years, and I think we will have something more substantial.
