About the Author

Melanie D. Emerson is a 20-year practicing dentist and small business owner. The Covid pandemic slowed her fast-paced life and brought on a lot of unforeseen stress, but also played a role in strengthening her connection to nature. She sought help from a therapist to help alleviate the feelings of overwhelm. Adding eco therapy to her routine and devoting more time to her hobby of photography has given her a respite from her stress. She found herself captioning and thinking of the animals talking to her in metaphoric ways.

Reader Reviews

This is my favorite book that I have in the waiting room of my therapy practice. Emerson's wildlife photos and funny captions leave the reader lighthearted and happy. When you want to escape the grind pick up this book, grab a cup of coffee and let the giggles begin. - Scott Brewer
