Book Description
 
From beloved, award-winning poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil comes a debut work of nonfiction--a
collection of essays about the natural world, and the way its inhabitants can teach, support, and
inspire us.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."What the peacock
can do," she tells us, "is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life."
The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us
how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile
environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship.
For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in
order to fully appreciate the world's gifts.Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi
Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.
