  • Summary

  • Welcome back to Got Books, the podcast where we talk to booksellers all around the world.

    Today we are going to the United States, in Madison, New Jersey, to a bookshop with the most fitting of names - The Nature of Reading. The concept of this bookshop feels quite unique to me: pulling together the joy and wonder of the natural world with the knowledge and passion to fight for its survival. It is an environmental bookstore sand it specializes in seasonal reading, nature writing, and climate change books, helping spread the messages of local environmental groups and leading both children and adults to reconnect with nature and reading.I love so many things about this bookshop - how it began as a pandemic quest for more meaning, how young and brave Hailey, its founder, is, how it first started as a pop up bookshop and then with community support turned into what it is today, how it has a tree inside the shop (ok, not a real tree..but not all kids can tell), and especially how it wants to raise awareness and action when it comes to the climate crisis by taking a gentle approach rooted in love and appreciation for nature. Here's my conversation with Hailey.
