{"product_id":"9781787335257","title":"Think Like a Forest : Letters to my Children from a Changing Planet by Ben Rawlence","description":"`Beautiful and thought-provoking' Cal Flyn`A delightful and important book. Every parent should read this' Merlin Hanbury-TenisonHow do we raise children in a climate emergency?What should we teach them - and what kind of future are we preparing them for?Ben Rawlence began writing to his eldest daughter before she was born, trying to understand what it means to bring a child into a world facing ecological breakdown. Over the next twelve years, these letters - written to his two daughters as they grow - chart one father's attempt to live with the central contradiction of our age: raising children within a system that threatens all life, including our own.   By turns moving and funny, and always bracingly honest, Think Like a Forest explores love, fear and responsibility in perilous times. Rawlence finds the answers might lie in learning to see the world again through the eyes of a child so that we may embrace interdependence and regain our place in nature. To think like a forest, he shows us, may be the key to how we parent, how we live, and even whether we have a future on our planet at all.   'A gift, not just for the author's daughters, but for all of us who want to replace ecocide anxiety with the glimmerings of a better future' Sophy Roberts`A thoughtful, tender way to make a map of new and frightening territory' Jay Griffiths\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369161470325,"sku":"9781787335257","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787335257.jpg?v=1763552314","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781787335257","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
