It sparks awe, curiosity and a sense of beauty and community. But as wildlife around us declines and disappears, murkier feelings rise up: guilt, detachment and fear for nature's plight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor many years, Lucy Lapwing wrestled with these tangled emotions. So, in an attempt to make sense of this dance between joy and grief, she decided to go on a journey. In Love Is a Toad, Lucy traverses meadows, bogs and hedgerows with her fellow nature enthusiasts, where she digs down into our relationship with the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the course of a year, she meets bucketfuls of wildlife - Blackbird and Oak, slugs and puffballs, waterlilies, Dung Beetles and toads - as she roams across the UK. From a river swim to wanders through woodlands, with every journey, Lucy explores how nature makes us feel, from wild grief and anger through to soaring joy and indefatigable hope. At once a celebration and an invitation to reflect, Love Is a Toad prods and pokes at our connection to the natural world, exploring its complexity in all its muddiness, messiness and wonder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE CLEEVE BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56849782014327,"sku":"9781806175208","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0729\/3737\/files\/9781806175208.jpg?v=1773072691","url":"https:\/\/thecleevebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781806175208","provider":"The Cleeve Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
