It’s here!
In a time that can feel hopeless, Emily’s stories remind us of the incredible awe and wonder that still exist. These stories transport us from tiny microbes to towering trees, connecting us with the soul of the Northwoods and beyond. Emily’s writing is joyful and informative, poetic and revealing. This book is like walking through the forest with a dear friend who also happens to be a skilled naturalist. It’s a true delight.

A shimmering web of relationships connects everything. With humor, curiosity, and scientific detail, Emily Stone’s third book takes you poking around the Northwoods in search of the web’s most delightful strands. Through stories about the memory of chickadees, a spider princess, the love lives of timberdoodles, and ghost pipe’s surprising value, you’ll find that all Beings are endlessly connected in life and beyond death. In a web so immense, you’ll feel tiny and insignificant, but also part of something wonderful.
The natural world offers a cornucopia of delights and amazements. Emily Stone knows how to unearth these stories and tell them with style. Life inevitably becomes richer the more we explore it. This book will enrich the life of anyone who lives in the Northwoods. I expect to go back to it many times, and every time, to be surprised while learning something more.
