Wildhood: The Astounding Connections between Human and Animal Adolescents
Favorite read of 2025. A research-based exploration of interspecies commonalities during adolescence. It seems that adolescents across all species might have more in common with each other than they do their same-species adults and children.

The only chili crunch for me! Made with whole ingredients including delicious oil, Ruby Crunch hails from a woman-owned, friendship-based business. I ate my first batch in less than 2 weeks— stop judging. Trust me, you need this.

All the World by Liz Garton Scanlon
A Caldecott honor to notice! We were gifted this book as expectant parents in 2015, and have never tired of its mesmerizing illustrations or soothing prose. Even on challenging work days as a street medicine doctor, these words play as lyrical mantras in my head that soothe growing despair for the world letting me access compassion and dignity for the people around me.
