Organized by season, these delicate pieces exude an optimism that revolves around community, sustenance, parenting, and appreciating both urban and rural landscapes.

At a smaller trim size than the original, this volume makes the perfect gift. “Absolutely beautiful in its entirety.” —Brain Pickings
