![]() What do you think of the story of Sprig? Are there other books you would recommend for permaculture parents for children? Let me know. Gwen the Rescue Hen is now available for pre-order at . My guest today is Leslie Crawford, author of Spring the Rescue Pig, a childrens book. If you are a parent of younger children, as I say somewhere in that 6 to 9 range, I recommend that you pick this up and start to share these stories and your values with your children. I really like Leslie’s non-confrontational and non-judgemental tone to the story of Sprig, that shows us what is possible in expanding our relationships and connection to the natural world and other than human, in a beautiful way through Leslie's expressive language and the delightful illustrations by Sonya Stangl. You can purchase the book at or look for it wherever you buy books. Sprig The Rescue Pig, published by Stone Pier Press, is distributed by Chelsea Green Publishing. ![]()

Even more unfortunately for Gabriel, the wife-to-be has her own thoughts on the matter. Unfortunately, he has left the whole marriage thing a bit late, and now he has scramble to find the wife pre-ordained for him by Jovah. Gabriel is set to become the next Archangel of Samaria, but he must have a consort (called the angelica) to sing with him at the ceremony (called the Gloria). The novel begins with a neat narrative hook: "The angel Gabriel went to the oracle on Mount Sinai, looking for a wife" (1). That Shinn balances all of these things in one book is quite a commendable achievement. And if a love story is what you're looking for, Archangel will have you glued to every page until the not-so-bitter end. Shinn manages to deal with some heavy themes, like dominance and social justice, with a fast-paced story that captures the reader's heart quite easily. But what is the nature of love, that much maligned and misused word? Do opposites attract, or is that simply a myth (and is myth-making the essential thing anyways)? And where do gender roles, as received, fit into this picture? Sharon Shinn's excellent novel, Archangel, treats some of these questions in an innovative manner, in the context of a compelling story and vivid characters. Genre fiction often treats "love" only as a plot device - the hero gets the girl and stereotypes reign undisputed. ![]() ![]() Archangel, Sharon Shinn, Ace, 1996, 390 pp. ![]() ![]() Each echo reveals startling insights about what it means to seek connection: with those we love, with the places we inhabit, and with our own fugitive selves.Ĭleanness revisits and expands the world of Garth Greenwell’s beloved debut, What Belongs to You, declared “an instant classic” by The New York Times Book Review.
