Book Launch - Wild Kin: Embracing Our Animal Family
Celebrate moments of connection across the globe.
For more than a decade, Amanda has sought out these moments of connection: walking among penguins in Patagonia, working alongside rhinos in South Africa, learning from elephants in Thailand, meeting polar bears in the Arctic, and others.
Join us to celebrate the launch of Wild Kin: Embracing Our Animal Family, the memoir of Amanda's journey. Part adventure, part eco-philosophy, it asks what we lose when we forget our animal family, and how we might find our way back to kinship.
Come for the stories. Leave seeing your wild neighbors differently.
Music by Jess Henderson. Book sales at the event by Eagle Harbor Books.
The event is free, but please register so we know you're coming.
Instructor
Amanda is an award-winning author and has published two books and numerous memoir and nature writing pieces. This fall she will be publishing her third book, Wild Kin: Embracing Our Animal Family, which chronicles her ten years volunteering in wild animal sanctuaries around the world. As she wrote this book, she found that illustrating what she was writing about added depth to documenting her experiences. She is excited to offer this class to get others started on the journey of pairing nature writing with drawing. www.writerARMander.com https://substack.com/@amandamander
