For everyone participating in the #naturalitsy buddy read, I saw that this online event will be happening on April 8. It‘s all about trees.

pickQuirky and fascinating, I love experiencing the natural world through Sy Montgomery‘s eyes. This love letter to our most common avian friends was funny and interesting, made me smile, laugh, and think. Short too, about 2 hours on #audio and read by the author.
Visited friends in Wisconsin recently and there were so many little libraries everywhere! I was delighted to find the tagged book in one. Coincidentally, I recognized it because it was often in the “by our staff” shelves in the bookstore at Colorado State University in Fort Collins where my friend and I got our M.S., and the book is related to her current thesis project. #LittleFreeLibrary
I joined the #naturalitsy buddy read but I haven‘t read any of the books for it yet. I‘m disappointed. I was hoping to read some of the books for the buddy read this month but I‘m not going to get around to it this month. Maybe I‘ll have time next month to catch up with the buddy read. These books are all about nature and I love anything to do with nature.

This “spell book” was written & illustrated in response to the Oxford Junior Dictionary dropping 40 common words concerning nature & substituting words of the indoor and virtual (eg. otter vs blog).
The illustrations of 20 of these words with poems are indeed spelled binding.
This book is part of the inspiration of Patti Callahan Henry‘s new book The Story She Left Behind.
Author Tom Cox got his books back from publisher Unbound (they went into administration). He's currently selling the copies he got from the publisher in lieu of payment.
Here's his post about it on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/tomcox/p/hurray-i-now-own-my-books-again?utm_sourc...
He's asking for postage plus whatever you can afford of the cover price, which I think is more than fair.
I'm able to post again (for now at least)! I haven't read this book, but I loved the title and the cover. I think I'm going to get it for some of my niblings.
