Overview

A gorgeous picture book for adults about the healing power of nature and birds--perfect for fans of Robert MacFarlane, H is for Hawk, and West Coast illustrator Nikki McClure

In this beautifully illustrated book filled with bold, colorful prints, Octavie Wolters takes readers on a reflective journey through the fields, woods, and wetlands near her home over the course of a year. As she walks, she shares her innermost thoughts and worries with the birds that accompany her, including blackbirds, magpies, swallows, and oystercatchers. Through these interactions, she discovers valuable insights and wisdom, finding comfort in their presence.

The memoir is richly illustrated, capturing the stunning beauty of nature and illustrating the deep bond between humans and the natural world. As the seasons unfold, Wolters combines her observations with personal reflections, reminding us that profound connections can be found in the simple, everyday experiences of life outdoors. Each chapter encourages readers to slow down and appreciate the small wonders that often go overlooked. This heartfelt narrative serves as a reminder to reconnect with nature and embrace the magic that surrounds us every day.

From an award-winning author and illustrator, This Will Last Forever is a beautiful meditation on the healing power of the natural world and on overcoming grief. It contains thirteen stunning linocut illustrations, and is a perfect gift for wildlife lovers. Fans of thought provoking picture books such as Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris' Lost Words will also fall in love with Wolter's poignant narrative voice and exquisite art style.
