Beautiful article! And about that book...Did you know that...

George Petrides (the author) was, among other things, a UN and World Bank representative on the environment, wrote a ton of books in the field guide series, and died in 2011? He has a daughter, Olivia, who's a brilliant artist who lives in Chicago and teaches at Art Institute. I sent her your post through IG. Don't know if she'll get it, but I'm sure it will move her if she does.

Your eye is so inspiring!

Congratulations on your Canadian citizenship! I just watched your YouTube video. Such a beautiful, heartfelt dedication to your parents and to the countries that have welcomed you. Enjoyed reading about your discovery of this great reference book on trees. I love trees although I am so ignorant of the various types growing in our midst.

Welcome to the 🍁 family!! And how come I didn’t know you had a channel! Watching the video now πŸ‘€ and that book! I was reading The Journey of Trees and was wondering where is the best place to learn how to identify trees.. then this wonderful post! The algorithm isn’t the only thing that understands my interests!!!!

Congrats on dual citizenship! And wow! What a book! Does it do just trees in North America? There are trees here in New Zealand that are hundreds of years old! The stories those trees could tell! Have you met Charlie Becker in WOP8? His dad owns such a book shop as you’ve described. He grew up in the shop!
