Next Book for the BHAS Book Club
The next book has been chosen for our April meeting: Birdgirl: Looking to the Skies in Search of a Better Future, by Mya-Rose Craig.
We will meet via Zoom to discuss this memoir on Wednesday, April 24th at 6:00 PM. If you are interested in attending, please email Rachel Hudson at lightningdash09@nullyahoo.com to receive the questions we will talk about regarding the book, as well as to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.
From the publisher of Birdgirl:
“Birdgirl follows Mya-Rose and her family as they 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 for comfort and meaning.
Each bird they see brings a moment of joy and reflection, instilling in Mya-Rose a deep love of the natural world. But Mya-Rose has also seen first-hand the reckless destruction we are inflicting on our fragile planet, as well as the pervasive racism infecting every corner of the world, leading her to campaign for Black, Indigenous, people of color.
Joining the fight of today’s young environmental activists, Mya-Rose shares her experiences to advocate for the simple, profound gift of nature, and for making it accessible to all, calling her readers to rediscover the power of our natural world.
Birder, activist, daughter: this is her story.”
