The language of trees, and birds

We had so much fun yesterday, talking about The Language of Trees, under the Redwoods at the Henry Miller Library 🥰

Screenshot of a photo shared on Instagram. A group of smiling people standing under large Redwood trees. They all hold copies of The Language of Trees by Katie Holten, me! And there I am, standing in the middle with my green linen trousers and green wooly jumper because it was nice and cool and oh so refreshing under the Redwoods.

…if human survival and economic resilience are important goals, so is a world calm enough to meet the needs of the human nervous system. We can’t keep on like this — it’s simply inhuman. We’re creating a world that’s fit only for something artificial.

Photo of me in Vroman’s bookstore in Pasadena, surrounded by books and a table with New Non Fiction. I’m holding a signed copy of my book, The Language of Trees: How Trees Make Our World, Change Our Minds, and Rewild Our Lives (special edition) published by Tin House | Zando in a hardcover cloth with gold embossed forest.

I’m wearing a face mask, white sloppy tshirt with rainbow starburst and green linen trousers. I’m smiling but can anyone tell with the mask?!

Sound of cocktails being shaken in the cocktail bar at the other end of the massive bookstore. Shaken, not stirred.

BOOK SOUP on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles has been slinging books since 1975. Love them! I popped in and signed a stack of books. The Language of Trees, special edition 🌿

Photo of me signing books at Book Soup on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Stack of books on the counter, forest green hardcover with gold embossed forest. Pride flags on either side of me. I’m wearing a light green colored face mask and a white t shirt. It’s incredibly hot outside and I look a bit frazzled.
