A sweet and sublime tribute to the crow, and a humble invitation to engage with “nature” wherever we may find it—even very close to home.

Weaving together research with personal “crow stories,” Lyanda Lynn Haupt crafts a moving and surprising book that awakens us to the natural wonder in our midst. (medium discount)
