The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane

A Spell Book

A lyrical collection of short poems and 'spells' paired with richly detailed paintings that seeks to rescue nature words—like acorn, otter and kingfisher—from fading out of children's vocabularies; blending celebration, quiet activism and exquisite art, it invites readers to slow down, notice and name the living world, restoring wonder and connection through language and image.
