About the book
The animal world serves as teacher in Mari Andrew's collection of essays, which asks what the animal world can show people about living more fully. A shelter cat becomes a lesson that damaged parts still deserve love, and a captive orca a case that difficulty and inconvenience belong to a full life. A gorilla points to grief as a language all creatures share, while a group of oysters suggests that magic and science can exist side by side. Highly sensitive horses, overly cautious donkeys and social rats also appear. Andrew mixes stories from her own life with explorations of the inner lives of other creatures, looking at how they mirror and challenge human experience.
