A simple, friendly and - above all - accessible nature journal for anyone who wants to notice more of the world around them. In Homecoming, Melissa Harrison invites us to connect more deeply to the natural world, in a comfortable and friendly space akin to chatting over a cup of tea. Never has there been a more important time to pick up a nature journal, but never has there been a nicer way to learn. Featuring monthly guides, birdsong to listen out for, little hints and absolutely gorgeous illustrations, Homecoming deserves to be the go-to guide for a rewilding generation
