2 Quick Back to School Book Recommendations These are not new, but are among my essentials. Both relate to the environment: ‘The Overstory’ is a mighty fiction read about trees & their people: ‘Underland’ by is an epic nonfiction work about what’s underneath us. #BookSky Authors & dates in ALT

The Overstory, A Novel (2018) by Richard Powers is a Pulitzer Prize Winner Underland, A Deep Time Journey (2019) is by Robert Macfarlane

Yay! I’m so glad to hear from you on The Overstory Martha! I’m about to read it again. Works about the environment are so needed right now. 😊 🌳
