I Found Hope in a Cherry TreeIllustrator: Nathalie Dion
Publisher: Groundwood Books September 2020 Where do we find hope in dark times? What do we do with the uncertainties of life? Inspired by the 2017 Las Vegas shooting and the wisdom of Rebecca Solnit's writing about hope, I Found Hope in a Cherry Tree explores how life can feel unpredictable, confusing, and even scary. But hope is not a state of being, hope is an action, and where better to find the perfect metaphor than in nature. Beautifully illustrated by Nathalie Dion, I Found Hope in a Cherry Tree is published by Groundwood Books. Order from your favourite independent bookstore!!
