We share more of our favorite nature books for kids here and some favorites for adults here.

Happy Earth Day! Come along for a little glimpse at why we love this book. 

You Are Never Alone focuses on our connections to nature.

It provides examples of how we’re directly reliant on nature. Obvious ones like the air we breath and silly ones the algae that thickens our ice cream. Comparisons between our bodies and nature, if our bones break they can heal just like coral can be rebuilt.

There are examples of ecosystem services like a tree’s roots that can stabilize the soil and their branches and transpiring leaves that help to keep us cool.

And then there are more complex connections explained with just a few simple statements. Like the linkages made on these pages that explain how salmon forms a vital connection between whales in the sea and the terrestrial forest ecosystems that help to regulate our climate. 

So many beautiful connections explained to the readers accompanied by beautiful illustrations.

During these crazy quarantimes, I love to keep the focus on nature, and I think this book is a wonderful reminder for all of us that we’re never alone. xo
