REVIEWTHE HARE'S CORNER: Making Space for Natureby Jane Clarke and Catherine Cleary; illustrations by Jane Carkill; New Island Books; out 11/26/2025.SYNOPSISThe Hare’s Corner celebrates farmers, families, schools and community groups all over Ireland who are restoring habitats, reviving biodiversity and reconnecting people with the land.🌼 Uplifting stories and poems interwoven with enchanting illustrations and photographs bear witness to the renewal and well-being that can blossom when we make space for nature in our lives.Named after the traditional farming practice of leaving field corners for wildlife, The Hare’s Corner is inspired by small, thoughtful actions that can spark powerful change. Readers are invited to rediscover the beauty and wonders of their own landscapes, urban and rural.MY THOUGHTSWhat a glorious book, filled with gorgeous stories, poetry, photos, and illustrations on reclaiming nature in our lands. This is a collection to cheer for, savor, read and reread, proudly display on a coffee table or nightstand or in a coffee shop, and give prominent display in libraries of every kind. Stunning and life-changing!🌼 Big hugs to Jane Clarke, who responded so kindly when I requested a review copy; and to publisher New Island Books, who is sending a hard copy too. Thrilled! Thanks also to Catherine Cleary and illustrator Jane Carkill. Opinions are mine.#theharescornermakingspacefornaturecl@jane_clarke_poet @catherineeats @lamblittle @newislandbooks #environmentalism #irishnature #reclaimingnature #plantandanimalart
