A New York Times bestseller National Book Award finalist Sy Montgomery reflects on the personalities and quirks of 13 animals--her friends--who have profoundly affected her in this stunning, poetic, and life-affirming memoir featuring illustrations by Rebecca Green. Understanding someone who belongs to another species can be transformative. No one knows this better than author, naturalist, and adventurer Sy Montgomery. To research her books, Sy has traveled the world and encountered some of the planet's rarest and most beautiful animals. From tarantulas to tigers, Sy's life continually intersects with and is informed by the creatures she meets. This restorative memoir reflects on the personalities and quirks of thirteen animals--Sy's friends--and the truths revealed by their grace. It also explores vast themes: the otherness and sameness of people and animals; the various ways we learn to love and become empathetic; how we find our passion; how we create our families; coping with loss and despair; gratitude; forgiveness; and most of all, how to be a good creature in the world.Binding Type: Hardcover

Goo
I really liked it because it contains natural ingredients like beef tallow, beeswax, and honey, which leave the skin soft and hydrated. It’s easy to apply, not greasy, and provides great SPF 50 protection. Perfect for everyday use.

Not worth the price.
Definitely not worth the price. The tiny container is only 1/2 full. Would not recommend buying this.

Eczema approved
I have always wanted a face mist to cool down my eczema rashes and this spray seem help a lot specifically if you put it in the refrigerator. I did notice it left my skin with moisture. Plus there is no fragrance.
