From the New York Times bestselling author of Lost in Translation comes a beautifully illustrated dictionary that reconnects us to nature, time and place.
This heartfelt collection celebrates the poetry of language and the quiet power of noticing. Motivated by a deep care for both words and the world, Sanders invites readers to reimagine their relationship with the planet through a lens of linguistic wonder.
Across seven evocative themes “ ranging from Seasons and Land to Time and Water “ over two hundred words in more than eighty languages illuminate the textures of landscape, feeling, weather and thought. Each entry includes a pronunciation guide, thoughtful definition and etymological or cultural context, gently guiding the reader toward a more attentive, grounded way of living.
Words to Love a Planet is a soft and evocative place to land “ a dictionary not just of definitions, but of hope, memory and connection.
