Eps. 172: Wild Hope; Guest, Gayle Boss

My guest is author Galye Boss. Her stunning Advent book about how various North American animals wait out and survive the dark, cold winter was an instant classic. Now, she releases a fitting second book, this time for Lent. This too, is another gorgeously-illustrated book that features 24 amazing animals of the world that are vanishing from existence. (David G. Klein, Illustrator) Our conversation covers topics in both her books and a lovely reading from Wild Hope by Gayle.
