One Hundred Birds Taught Me to Fly by Ashley Mae Hoiland

This book is like poetry. Her sentences are so packed with meaning, it has to be read slowly and savored, word by word. The illustrations are simple and beautiful. I love this author's perspective. She is open, she is faithful, she is inclusive. She inspires me to be better, especially within my often narrow focus. She writes beautifully and faithfully about her spiritual experiences and chafes positively against some LDS culture. In particular, she values the spiritual journeys of others. This is so refreshing. I love that this book is published by the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at BYU. This gives me hope for our culture becoming more inclusive. Love it. I am reading it through for the second time...
