World of Wonders : In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments

by Aimee Nezhukumatathil

As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted--no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape--she was able to turn to our world's fierce and funny creatures for guidance.  World of Wonders is also a 2021 Kansas Notable Book.

Join us in the Campbell Room to discuss this month's title. Attendance is free and registration is required.

A limited number of copies of each title are available for checkout.
