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

4.0

An incredibly inspiring and honest memoir from Muslim environmental activist and avid birder, Mya-Rose Craig. In her book Mya shares about how she grew up birding with her family, traveling all across the globe searching for rare birds as well as how difficult it was having a bipolar mother with serious mental health issues.

While her family life was often challenging, she was able to do amazing work at a young age as a climate change activist who focused particularly on supporting other BIPOC youth in the fight against racism.

With over 5000 bird sightings (roughly half the global bird population!), Mya's 'Birdgirl' persona is no joke and she easily ranks up there with Greta as one of the mega global environmental activists!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Celadon Books for early copies of this memoir in exchange for my honest review!
