This thoughtful collection of essays by the author of Last Child into the Woods explores the vital connections that sustain our lives.
It's often the little things that remind us how connected we all are to one another. Through his insightful reflections, Louv reveals the many strands that make up the great web of life, from family and friendship to community and nature. Most importantly, his words remind us of how important it is to seek out these strands in our own lives.
With inspirational stories, discussion, and quotations, Louv weaves a tale of collective unity and shared memory that reminds us how important it is to care for each other and the world around us. As Louv shares, "In our society, it is easy to lose sight of the web. To mend our hoop, our protective gauze, we must envision the whole ecology and not only the parts."
