Seeing Ourselves in Ecology by Roz MacLean | Nerdy Book Club

While it is a story that explores how children relate to and see themselves in the natural world – neurodiversity and disability included – my book, Together, a Forest: Drawing Connections Between Nature’s Diversity and Our Own, is also a culmination of some of my own big life changes and shifts in perception.    Like…
