From Mary Oliver

What did you notice?
The dew-snail;
the low-flying sparrow;
the bat, on the wind, in the dark;
big-chested geese,
in the V of sleekest performance;
the soft toad,
patient in the hot sand;
the sweet-hungry ants;
the uproar of mice
in the empty house;
the tin music
of the cricket’s body;
the blouse of the goldenrod…

Who Did We Notice?
The kindness curators,
the hope merchants,
the nature protectors,
the planet appreciators,
the friends of the finned,
feathered, and furry,
our readers—you.

Thank you for stopping by,
coming back, and hanging in.
We are so grateful for your support.

Wishing you peace
this Thanksgiving and always.

Dear readers—old friends and new friends—hello!

We’re excited to introduce you to our latest release written by LSF (me) for FWP (Favorite World Press) and illustrated by the brilliant, award-winning Lithuanian artist Marija Smirnovaitė (genius).

Inspired by our love of the living world and the uniquely amazing wildlife of Australia, Dear Earth, I Love You Too! features Tilda, the intrepid koala, in a story of courage and cooperation, hope and healing, created to foster the appreciation and protection of nature and all its furry, feathered, slippery, and scaly inhabitants.

Hugs all around to the new pals of Tilda out there, your dedicated support of the wild ones means the world to us! Here’s just one good reason why: ‘I need your help saving koalas’.

And a leafy, green reminder: for every print or e-book sold, we plant one native tree in a community-based conservation project in partnership with Tree Nation—for people, for nature.
