Meeting Sy Montgomery

This fall, we had the opportunity to meet Sy Montgomery on her book tour for her new book: The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle, which we highly recommend! Sy kindly wrote a blurb for my book, and we began corresponding, and she has even become pen pals with Alex! Sy is a wonderful human being and she deeply cares about animals as evidenced in her books and writings. I am so grateful Sy got to meet Victory in person. When Victory sadly passed away, Sy texted me and checked in with me multiple times a day, which was such a kindness to me. We all love Sy, and wished we lived closer together on the East Coast. I am so grateful for Sy’s friendship. Alex is inspired by Sy to live a creative life, which is wonderful! I hope you check out Sy’s wonderful books. Below are a few pictures from Sy’s book event this fall. Additionally, here is a link to an interview I did with Sy earlier this year.

Here is one of my favorite quotes by Sy:

“I think all animals have souls. I feel certain that if we have souls, octopuses have souls, too. If you grant something a soul, it demands a certain level of sacredness. Look around us. The world is holy. It is full of souls.”
