📚 Reading Pride doesn’t end in June 📚 Pride Month is a moment of visibility, but these stories deserve space on the shelf all year round.

It can begin with something as simple as stepping outside for fifteen minutes and paying attention. Publishing 2 July | Unwilded by Alastair Humphreys 🌱 zurl.co/InyD8

At the heart of the book is the idea of “shifting baseline syndrome” – the quiet way each generation comes to accept a more depleted natural world as normal. But this is also a hopeful book. It suggests change doesn’t have to start big.

What if the biggest shift we’ve experienced is not just environmental, but perceptual? Unwilded explores how modern life has pulled us away from nature and what that means for our wellbeing, our habits, and our sense of responsibility towards the planet.

What has this Pride reading challenged you with? Pride reading has a way of gently unpicking assumptions and asking us to see differently what we thought we already understood.

Already shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards and East Anglian Book Awards, Season continues to win recognition for its moving portrayal of friendship, loneliness and belonging.
