The City Sings Green: And Other Poems About Welcoming Wildlife
Erica Silverman
Poems and brief nonfiction pieces introduce eleven environmental restoration projects that make room for wildlife in cities and other populated places. The book visits Toronto’s new green spaces and urban forests, a penguin crossing in New Zealand, Oslo rooftop stops for honeybees, rewilding efforts in Singapore, and a Los Angeles schoolyard restored with native plants. These projects bring back or support animals including ravens, penguins, pollinators, otters, and a burrowing owl. End matter provides resources on each project and ideas for learning about local issues and taking action.
