Homecoming

'Nobody writes about the natural world like her' INDIA KNIGHT

'Absolutely gorgeous . . . never has there been a nicer way to learn' KATE BRADBURY

Welcome to your own, personal nature journal, and a new way of being in the world.

A year-long course in noticing, you can start in any month and follow the stories unfolding around you -

wherever you live.

Featuring monthly guides, birdsong to listen out for, beautiful illustrations, checklists and tips, Homecoming will help you connect to nature, boost your wellbeing and plug you back into the rhythm of the seasons.

Write down the very best thing you experience in nature each day and learn how to establish your own rituals, high points and habits to carry you through the year.

A simple, friendly and - above all - accessible nature journal for anyone who wants to notice more of the world around them. In Homecoming, Melissa Harrison invites us to connect more deeply to the natural world, in a comfortable and friendly space akin to chatting over a cup of tea. Never has there been a more important time to pick up a nature journal, but never has there been a nicer way to learn. Featuring monthly guides, birdsong to listen out for, little hints and absolutely gorgeous illustrations, Homecoming deserves to be the go-to guide for a rewilding generation -- Kate Bradbury
Strong recommend - not just for existing nature lovers but for those ripe for conversion -- Lev Parikian
