| book description |

Discover Mya-Rose Craig's moving and life-affirming memoir about family, searching for rare birds, and the power of our natural world. 'Lyrical, poignant and insightful' MARGARET ATWOOD (on Twitter) 'Filled with hope and energy' Guardian In her memoir, Mya-Rose Craig and her family travel the world in search of rare birds and astonishing landscapes. But a shadow moves with them, too - her mother's deepening mental health crisis. In the face of this struggle, the Craigs turn to nature again and again, and every time it offers joy and stillness. On these journeys, Mya-Rose also witnesses the inequality and destruction we are inflicting on our fragile planet. And so, through the simple, mindful act of looking for birds, she becomes ever more determined to campaign for all our survival. 'A delightful account of a young life devoted to birding - and the fight to save birds and the places they live' Stephen Moss * Winner of a Somerset Maugham Award * * Longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing * * Longlisted for the Jhalak Prize *
