Birdgirl

From the publisher:
Meet Mya-Rose, otherwise known as 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.

In her words: "Birdwatching has never felt like a hobby or a pastime I can pick up and put down, but a thread running through the pattern of my life, so tightly woven in that there's no way of pulling it free and leaving the rest of my life intact."

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 firsthand the reckless destruction inflicted 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. Birder, activist, daughter: This is her story.
