Among the Birds book cover

I’m overjoyed to share that my new book, Among the Birds, will be released on September 1st!

This book is a bit riotous, honestly. It’s an exuberant, ever-changing wander among the birds of Cascadia, different from anything I’ve ever written. More than seventy regional species make an appearance, connected through experience, science, myth, memory, and the serendipity of our shared wild lives. Justin Gibbens’s colorful art accompanies every single bird, blending realism and whimsy in the most magical way.

Among the Birds is an invitation to wonder, awareness, action, and love.

Praise for Among the Birds:

“Haupt’s bite-sized musings on avian life, beautifully illustrated with color drawings, make for an avian feast.” –Booklist (starred review)

“Among the Birds is equal parts edifying, playful, and vulnerable–it strikes my heart like a love letter to our inextricable natural connection with birds.” –Matt Kracht, author of The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America

“Luminous with insight and wonder” –David George Haskell, author of How Flowers Made Our World

“A glorious meander through nature with a keen-eyed friend.” –Thor Hanson, author of Feathers and Close to Home

“Among the Birds is welcome as spring birdsong.” –Sy Montgomery, author of The Hummingbirds’ Gift

My bestseller Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit, published by Little, Brown Spark is out in paperback!

Rooted book coverAt this moment when our lives and the earth are in such flux and crisis, Rooted digs deep to explore our place within the great tangle.

Rooted is a more personal book than I’ve ever written. It’s a little quirky, and very honest. Enchanted illustrations by UK artist Helen Nicholson wander as if they are alive through the pages. I am truly delighted to share this book with you.

Praise for Rooted:

“With her deep Intuition and expansive attention as our guides, Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s gorgeous words create a  path to the place where science and spirit meet. It’s a barefoot path that wanders through solitudes and into community with frogs, moose, orca and our own wildness.”—Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass
