Product Details
Author Gayle Boss and illustrator David G. Klein team up in Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing. Measuring 7”W x 8”H, this 96 page paperback packs a big punch. Boss writes 25 stories from vanishing species point of view that include: pangolins, polar bears, olms, lemurs, and leopards. Wonder and grief emerge as her vivid descriptions of the lives of vanishing animals unfold on the page. Choices by humans are creating a destiny where they will disappear from view and no longer contribute to the balance of life on planet earth. Boss intends to break our hearts open so that we awake to greater compassion. While she does not directly refer to or include Christianity, Jesus or other familiar Lenten themes in Wild Hope, the stories thaw frozen in fear or despair heart to awaken in compassion.
Lent means, “springtime” and embodies what Boss’ mission is for this book. Thus, lent is used in the title. Wild Hope maintains that if we are willing to get real, listen to what animals are actually experiencing, something new will rise. Creativity explodes in difficult chaos and our planet is in such a time. We share this planet and Gayle Boss is reminding us that we need all sentient beings to be respected whether they have 4 legs, wings, scales, etc. Pick up and share Wild Hope today so that earth’s new awakening in the unfolding of human compassion can begin today.
