Listen Later

The Book Interrupted women continue Season Two with “What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World” by Jon Young. Each member expresses individually how they feel either before reading or beginning to read “What the Robin Knows”, then they continue the discussion into a group chat. Through the topics of sit spots, Scouts, bird watching and putting random found things in your mouth, they talk about their lives, inspired by the words of the book.

Discussion Points:

  • Personal journals - what are the first impressions of the book?
  • Do you have a sit spot/magic spot?
  • Were you ever a Scout, Brownie, or Girl Guide?
  • Animal and bird watching 
  • Do you put random found things in your mouth?
  • What animals and birds do you see close to your home?
