In The Morning Light, The Lily White, Naturalist Katherine Hauswirth presents a collection of very short essays-one for each day of the year-offering knowledge, insight, and introspection. Hauswirth examines countless components of our natural world, answering such questions as: What's going on beneath still winter pond waters? Do birds ever sleep in? Do bees really use their tongues as crowbars? and Do flying squirrels actually fly? You will approach nature differently after reading this book, following in Hauswirth's footsteps as she learns from nature by being one with nature.
