This is a book recommendation episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will attempt to persuade you, our wonderful listeners, to join us for a literary journey. Expect this episode to be under 30 minutes long, include references to the work but not spoilers, and celebrate what makes it compelling.
This book recommendation is on WORLD OF WONDERS: IN PRAISE OF FIREFLIES, WHALE SHARKS, AND OTHER ASTONISHMENTS by Aimee Nezhukumatathil. From the cover: “Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Mini Nakamura, WORLD OF WONDERS is a book of sustenance and joy.”
