[PeDAGoG] Reading list around regenerative futures for Young Adults?

[Pallavi Varma Patil]

Hi Christine( and others),

Here is something that caught my eye yesterday after you put me on the
gardening radar with your lovely recommendation:
 Scent of Rain, Sun and Soil : Stories of Agroecology by Lumad youth in the
Philippines.
http://davaotoday.com/main/culture-2/counter-narrative-book-on-lumad-schools-agri-education-counters-red-tagging/?fbclid=IwAR1Gl4N1gJFA976znfw_cvIGQeKpKk7YsjYFm2uVgOoRM7oahoCp8O9QJ4k


Anyone here seen it? Useful?

Also: I read your recommendation out to my own 13 year old and she
immediately said , "in that case we could also have books by Gerald Durrell
featuring in this reading list!"

Pallavi
