Congratulations, love the sound of the book and the cover :) I don’t know if I missed the baby announcement in an earlier newsletter or you’ve snuck it in casually, but congrats on that as well ❤️ I can only imagine the things that you wonder and marvel upon will multiply :)

Congratulations, Mari! I can't wait to read this book (gleaning wisdom from nature speaks deeply to my soul). And it brings me joy that there will be another living thing with part of your soul here soon! <3 Best wishes for the next season of your journey!!

gooooorgeous!!! Absolutely love it and can't wait to read it :) The combination of illustration and a graphic title works so well! I love it when a book cover comes together. I work in publishing and every time I see a final cover I still joke 'wow, it actually looks like a real book!' just because it feels so cool every time. Can only imagine that feeling is multiplied by a lot when it's your own writing haha :D

Oh Mari, I'm so excited to read it. I love animals so deeply, and find it a shame that our society is built separately from the creatures that give us so much meaning and purpose. There is a reason that they exist here with us, not only as pets or pests or the 'other,' but as living, sentient creatuers we share the earth with. I think work like this is so important to bring that connection back between us and animals.

I also did not know yet that you are pregnant - congratulations!

Hi Mari- just checking before I order - will you be by any chance offering any pre-order discounts ? If not I still plan to purchase it! It sounds so helpful and like a great book to have in place where I used to look at social media before I got off of it - that place that many family’s used to have a readers digest is magazines - I’m sure you are following me - a books that fills the souls while the body releases what is no longer needed 😉🤭
