It's okay
3 stars
- I didn't really like reading this book! It felt like I had to keep pushing myself to keep reading.
- It's very focused on plant life and sometimes things like water. I would have liked more focus on connecting to the natural world from the streets.
- The whiteness and white people speaking on behalf of BIPOC folx and their experiences is overwhelming.
- I enjoyed Kyle Whyte, Trebbe Johnson, and Alison Hawthron Deming's chapters the most
- I skipped three chapters (one in the beginning, middle, and end).
- There's a lot of repetition and cross citing. I would have liked more cohesion and more community-oriented collaboration.
- I liked the inclusion of poems as a break.
