Disclaimer: I was given an advanced review copy in exchange for an honest review but I have also purchased my own copy, the audiobook, and several other copies to give away (yes, it's THAT good).

If you are a parent, caregiver, grandparent, teacher, or living human being, you need to read this book and buy it for the people in your life. It's the book I wish I had when my children were young. Britt has a beautiful way of communicating and giving language to many things that I have only been able to feel but not express.

The book is broken down into five parts: deepening our understandings, healthy bodies, radical minds, conscious consumption, and thriving communities. It lists all contributors with bio's, cites sources, offers additional reading recommendations for each section, bibliography, and index for easy reference.

My favorite part is probably the different activities, playful imagination examples, practical examples of incorporating lessons with children with questions and reflective prompts (on a walk, pointing out a crack in the sidewalk and asking your child why it is a problem and who it affects, then going home and calling 311 with your child to report the problem so it can be fixed) gentle ways to correct kids, ways to set boundaries with family, teachers, etc. and so much more.

If I had one complaint? It would be that Britt is not the voice on the audiobook. Yes, I'm biased. From being a part of her online community, I know that she has such a gentle (yet strong) and kind spirit and exudes such gratitude. The reader was great...Britt just would have been better.

Everything I needed, exactly when I needed it. So far, I have given three as gifts--it will be my "go to" for grief forever. Megan is authentic. She taught me how to process the greatest loss that I have known and how to be there for my sister in a time of unbearable grief. Her words are like salve on a deep wound that you're sure would be the death of you. She provides a vocabulary when there are no words left.
