How Animals Heal Us

How Animals Heal Us

Reviews

  • Humans can never get enough of animals. We know they are just like us, and also completely different. Now imagine meeting someone on a train who turns to you and starts telling you the most amazing stories about animals. Each one makes you go “wow!” And she can talk for hours—eloquently, magically. This is Jay Griffiths. Then she puts it all in a wonderful book, and you can return to these tales again and again. If animals can’t heal us, I don’t know what can
