Diary of a Young Naturalist

One of the most well-received books in any genre in recent years is now available in paperback. McAnulty is autistic, and his book, which has been described as a cross between a nature book and a coming-of-age memoir, chronicles a turbulent period in his life. His relationship with the environment is one of solace, and it serves as a reminder to everyone of all of the natural world's healing potential. Diary of a Young Naturalist is a powerful and enthralling depiction of the natural world that also sheds light on autism and overcoming extreme anxiety. It's a narrative about the unbreakable bonds of family and home, and how can help each other through the most difficult of circumstances.

This diary follows the author's life as it transitions from spring to winter, at home, in the woods. This remarkable debut, evocative, visceral, and poetic, explores the natural world through the perspective of Dara McAnulty, an autistic adolescent grappling with the dislocation of home, school, and his mental health while seeking a vocation as a conservationist and environmental activist. McAnulty unveils worlds humans have overlooked in a breathtaking world of nature writing that is a future classic, shifting from intense darkness to light and recounting his sensory interactions in the outdoors - with blackbirds, whooper swans, red kites, hen harriers, frogs, dandelions, Irish harriers, and more.
