August UUAM Book Group!

If you love to read and discuss books—especially books related to helping animals—this group is for you! The book we will be discussing in August is Love in Their Hearts: A Celebration of Animal Emotions and a Guide to Compassionate Action by Marc Bekoff and Jeff Campbell. From the book's description: "Love in Their Hearts invites young and adult readers alike into the rich inner lives of animals, from dogs to dolphins, octopuses to orangutans, and bees to bears. Through moving, surprising, and often joyful true stories, the authors explore the widespread evidence of empathy, playfulness, curiosity, grief, anger, and love across the animal kingdom—challenging readers to rethink what they thought they knew about nonhuman beings. Written for young adults but accessible and compelling for all ages, this inspiring volume blends cutting-edge research, firsthand accounts from leading scientists, and a stirring call to compassionate action. A forward by Dr. Jane Goodall celebrates the book's message of hope, responsibility, and connection." The UUAM Book Group meets the second Friday of each month. Our August meeting to discuss Love in Their Hearts will be on August 14 at 4 pm ET, 3 pm CT, 2 pm MT, 1 pm PT.
