Mom has been wanting to chat about her birds, so she shares a little bit about the bird paradise she has created in her yard over the past four years. We also released the first episode of our bird course on Patreon, so go check it out! (https://www.patreon.com/motherdaughterearth) Today we talk with the amazing Melina Sempill Watts, the author of Tree. When Melina was 7, she and her family moved to Topanga, California and she describes the magical experiences she had as a child of taking in nature (with sounds, smells, and colors), becoming friends with the plants in her area, and internalizing the rich story that their interrelated lives told. Melina even helps me see my connection to nature as a child in a completely different way. She goes on to share such a powerful story of an individual blade of grass giving her energy when she was feeling at her lowest. This experience was something she took with her the rest of her life and it ultimately inspired her to write her book, Tree.  She talks about how the idea to write Tree came to her and then what the process was like to produce a book from the perspective of a 229 year old California Live Oak. She gives an amazing comparison of how communicating with trees and plants is just like learning a foreign language, and she provides some amazing and practical ways that people can start opening up and communicating with the plant world.   -- Buy Tree on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tree-Melina-Sempill-Watts/dp/0997692111/ref=sr_1_2?crid=22AI4EKZVO9YY&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=tree+melina+watts&amp;qid=1612791135&amp;sprefix=tree+by+melina%2Caps%2C162&amp;sr=8-2 -- Visit Melina's website: https://www.changetheworld-books.com/  -- Visit Melina's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MelinaSempillWattsConsulting/   Mother Daughter Earth Links -- Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/motherdaughterearth  -- Follow us on Instagram: @motherdaughterearth (www.instagram/motherdaughterearth)  -- Visit our website: www.motherdaughterearth.biz
