Everyday Wild is an illustrated celebration of the vast natural diversity of the world, one that you can find by simply stepping outside. This guide to backyard (or front stoop!) ecology encourages you to notice every sight, sound, and smell—the rustle of falling leaves, the chirping of crickets, the scent of spring rain, and the radiance of the stars above—as a way of understanding the wonders of our complex, beautiful planet. Interact mindfully with your surroundings and embrace the simple joys offered by the great outdoors while gleaning tidbits of scientific information written to teach and inspire all ages. Each chapter—teeming with gorgeous, intricate nature illustrations—begins with a mindfulness prompt like "Notice the Small Things," "Taste the Wild," or "Discover Patterns," encouraging curiosity about the call-and-response interactions between birds or what a cloud can tell us about the future.
