BIRDGIRL Looking to the Skies in Search of a Better Future

Mya-Rose Craig’s narration of her debut memoir is full of youthful exuberance, wisdom, and wit. Craig grew up in a family of birders, learning to identify species with her parents in the UK and, later, all over the world. She writes about the thousands of incredible birds she’s seen on seven continents, her experiences as a biracial birder and work as a young activist in the environmental movement, and her mother’s mental illness and its impact on her family’s life. Her narration is bright and airy. Her voice bubbles with awe and excitement while describing her favorite birds, and she speaks about her mother’s struggles with obvious emotion. This engaging, inspiring memoir is a treat for anyone who cares about the natural world. L.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
