Join us to celebrate the launch of "Wild Kin: Embracing Our Animal Family" by local author Amanda Mander who describes this work as a " ... globe-spanning memoir of wildlife, belonging, and the profound connections that bind humans to the natural world."

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. This book is part adventure, part eco-philosophy, and 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.
