As the sun sets on another year, we have two important announcements:

1. We love our readers!

Because when you support Favorite World Press, you’re not just readers, you’re tree planters.

For every book we sell, we plant a tree—a native tree that will help cool Earth, provide food and shelter for wildlife, purify air and water and support local communities.

In 2022, we put down roots in 11 countries; that’s a pretty good year!

By reading with us, you’ve made an investment in the future health of our planet. Thank you for being a force for positive change.

2. We are so grateful!

From our favorite world to yours, wishing you a hopeful heart and a happy New Year.

A single act of kindness throws roots out in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.

In this season of giving and gratitude, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our readers. With your kind support of our small business, you help plant trees that provide life-sustaining resources for environmentally vulnerable communities, food and places to perch for wildlife, and clean air and water for everyone.

We couldn’t do it without you. Truly.

Wishing you a peaceful Thanksgiving.

with love,

FWP

Whoa—the year is flying by at warp speed. Before more time slips away, we want to take a pause for appreciation and communicate our heartfelt thanks to our readers for hanging with us.

We are so grateful to you for visiting our corner of the internet and helping us to turn hope into action for a better world.

We thank you. Frankie and Peaches thank you. And all of the people and creatures that benefit from the trees that we plant with your support thank you.

The fact is, you’re tree-mendous!

Wishing you awesome August adventures. Wherever you take yourself, may the breeze be with you.

In this season of giving, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our tree-planting readers.

Every single tree that we plant with your support is the start of a forest. A forest that will help to clean the air, cool the planet, purify water, and provide food and shelter for wildlife.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. You are so welcome here!

Wishing You

a Beary

Happy Thanksgiving!

As this downside-up, outside-in year draws to a close, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dear readers, who made time to make room for nature at Weekly Wondrous. Whether you’re far or whether you’re near, we want you to know we’re so glad that you’re here!

The WW Year in Review

Bionic corals,
one trillion new trees,
shiny, cloud parasols,
resilient, smart bees

Precious koalas,
zen jellyfish,
Earth Day at 50,
and our planet’s last wish

The flower power of pigment,
New Guinea’s last singing dog,
a weirdly wonderful bird
with a mouth like a frog

Boogying monkeys,
bickering bats,
and the laser-sharp focus
of the eyes of big cats

Imported beavers,
cool hummingbirds,
a poet named Walser
who had the best words

Two baby whales’
happy, hopeful debut,
shy, stripey okapis
hidden from view

A mini-marsupial’s
Indigenous name,
the Tree of the Year’s
leafy, green fame

Hard-working scientists
in need of big hugs,
tool-using tamarins
skilled at harvesting bugs

Bringing back nature
to make cities sweet,
cooling the planet
with hoofed reindeer feet

Matching red pandas,
an owl all alone,
copycat dolphins,
and a tree-planting drone

A green, flightless parrot
that won the top prize,
a whale of a shark
with teeth on its eyes

Protecting the pollinators
to help flowers bloom,
saving the elephants
by carving out room

An urban sky garden,
robotic bees,
how nature heals sadness,
making music with trees

Keeping tabs on sea turtles,
the floral language of love,
miniature sky labs
tending whales from above

An egg-laying mammal
with an eerie blue glow,
and a fat city cat,
stalking mice in the snow

And that’s that!

From our Favorite World to yours, best wishes for an all-around kinder, gentler, seriously more splendid 2021!

At Favorite World Press, we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support of our mission throughout this extraordinarily challenging year. You’re not just dedicated readers. You’re forward-thinking tree planters!

For every print or electronic book that you’ve purchased from the Tales of Total Kindness Series, there is a brand-new tree taking root that you’ve helped to plant with our partner, American Forests.

You made one more spot on our precious planet a little greener, cooler, and healthier, for people and wildlife, for generations to come:

You cleaned our air:
Trees absorb 17.4 million tons of air pollutants in the U.S., preventing 670,000 cases of asthma and acute respiratory symptoms annually.

You helped capture carbon:
Over its lifetime, one tree captures carbon emissions equivalent to driving a car 1,500 miles.

You kept it cool:
Trees reduce surrounding air temperatures by 9 degrees Fahrenheit and by 20 to 45 degrees under their canopy.

You helped restore forest habitats:
Forests provide food and shelter for eight out of ten land animals.

Wow, you’ve been busy! And you did all that without leaving your seat!

Thank you for reading. Thank you for planting. Thank you for caring.

Wishing you a safe and peaceful holiday.

With tree-mendous gratitude,

XO – FWP

We’ve had a tree-rific year at Favorite World Press! With your enthusiastic support of our first series release, Frankie and Peaches: Tales of Total Kindness, we’ve planted thousands of trees alongside our dedicated conservation partners at American Forests. By helping us help them, you have made a hopeful investment in a kinder, greener future, for people, for wildlife, and for the planet—and that’s a truly wonderful thing.

We are incredibly grateful that you share our Favorite World vision. Without you, there is no us—so thank you very much for existing! Please keep doing that!

And now dear readers without further ado:

Weekly Wondrous Year in Review

A caroling whale,
some traveling trees,
the busiest beavers,
and most hard-working bees

Squirrels with a strategy,
lemurs that leap,
eels that electrify
and swim in the deep

A fish-chomping grizzly,
some tadpoles that snore,
gardening tapirs,
and flamingos galore

Matching giraffes,
Earth’s favorite Day,
baby turtles that hatched
in Far Rockaway bay

A night pollinator
that works in the dark,
happier humans
because they’ve got park

Recycled birds,
an award-winning tree,
kelp-keeping otters,
more space to roam free

A ground-dwelling parrot,
one rhino, then two,
a bird that builds bowers
in bright shades of blue

African elephants
evolving tusk-free,
Eurasian antelopes
that just want to be

A mini-marsupial,
a fussed-over frog,
proud papa penguins
protecting their sprog

Good news for gorillas,
an Airbee-n-bee,
the most purr-fect postage,
a bird app that’s free

A pine-loving bear cub
eating cones by the bunch,
a leather-lipped camel
chewing cactus for lunch

Shy, scaly pangolins
that sleep in the day,
hard-working scientists
with something to say

A yellow-eyed hoiho
that lives near the sea,
some animal farmers,
and Brazil’s tallest tree

Lovers of nature,
fine people like you,
who make room in their hearts
for Earth’s beautiful view

That’s all folks!

We’ll be back in 2020 with more books, more trees and more featured creatures.

From our Favorite World to yours, however you celebrate, wishing you an absolute abundance of holiday cheer!

XOX!
