Seasons at Shiregreene

About this ebook
How are we shaped by where we live? This collection of personal essays recounts the time the author spent on a small acreage in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Shiregreene provided many opportunities to observe nature day by day, season by season. Animal tracks in the snow revealed others who shared this place, and springtime songs gave clues to returning birds. Trails led through nearby fields as crops ripened under the summer sun, and a starry dome glittered above this 'dark sky place' in fall. The author's responses to each season's discoveries became woven into her identity and her awareness of what matters.
Gillian Richardson
Nature, science, a lifelong love of reading about animal characters! For Gillian Richardson, this has been the perfect mix for writing 21 children's books, including both fiction (picture books, chapter books, novels), and nonfiction. Bestsellers, Kaboom! Explosions off All Kinds, and 10 Plants That Shook the World, won international awards. Recent ebook publications include Ollie Buggins, Detective? and Take Me With You, both chapter books for ages 6-8. A collection of short stories for ages 9-12, An Instinct for Survival: Ten Nature Adventures, is rich in detail about each animal's lifestyle and environment. Readers glimpse the constant struggle for survival, and a dramatic moment when everything depends on instinct. For older readers, Seasons at Shiregreene is a memoir that recounts years spent in Prince Edward Island
