Told through first-person narratives, essays, and poems, this uplifting collection celebrates the many ways that outdoor spaces offer Black people opportunities for personal empowerment, connection, and rejuvenation. Readers will immerse themselves in stories told from mountains, redwood forests, city parks, and far-off beaches: joining a woman on her courageous journey up Kilimanjaro, meeting a couple teaching the art of beekeeping in urban Detroit, and following a long-distance swim alongside a pod of dolphins--plus so much more. Interspersed are essays by author and celebrated outdoor leader, Rue Mapp, honoring the rich history and traditions surrounding Black people's relationship to the outdoors. Full of breathtaking photography and powerful storytelling, this boundary-breaking collection offers moments of profound beauty and insight, inviting every reader to forge their own meaningful and joyful relationship with the natural world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231114010603.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031133.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011818.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230203010612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A506A52A39011EDB6D854CE29ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
