As spring ends and summer approaches, readers can find solace during the changing of the seasons in Margaret Renkl’s book The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year. A collection of essays, Renkl’s book follows the life of the creatures in her backyard, as the seasons change throughout the year. Paralleling their actions and struggles to our own as humans, Renkl emphasizes the importance of empathy for our backyard companions. The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year will leave readers noticing the little changes in the environment of their everyday lives and the big impact that those little changes can have.
