We Are Nature

Through information about the natural world, this beautiful non-fiction book invites readers to discover something essential: humans are also nature, and nature is our teacher.

This book combines fascinating stories from the natural world with positive ideas about cooperation, empathy, community, and care for the planet.

Discover a forest that communicates underground, bees that sustain life through pollination, elephants that care for their community, and octopuses that display remarkable intelligence.

A book that fosters curiosity, respect, and connection with nature. Because we are not in nature. We are nature, and just like other fellow species, natural elements and processes, we are: a network, symbiosis, community,flow, transformation, gift, pollinators, hope, empathy, communication, cooperation, a cycle, creativity, sensory, intelligence, play, refuge, care, regeneration, balance, compassion, solidarity, reciprocity.
