Earth Day Reading Recommendations from Hannah

The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall  Looking at the headlines–a global pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, political upheaval–it can be hard to feel optimistic.

In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
