Saguaro Moon: A Desert Journal
Preview: Hear it

Here is another model nature journal from a naturalist who has been journaling habitats since she was a youngster. In the desert she sees Gila monsters, watches scorpions with a black light and harvests saguaro flowers with a Native American family that helps her see this unique, arid environment with appreciative eyes. The collagestyle journal features clippings of articles about animals and plants, stories of the Tonoho Oodham, Q&As, her own youthful journal entries, and even her own desert poetry. Saguaro Moon is a wonderful way to learn about the desert and also be inspired to keep a nature journal.
