Attention all NYC-area botany freaks!
On May 29th, I will be doing an event at the New York Botanical Gardens called "Weird, Wild, and Wonderful: An Evening of Women, Art & Botany."
I'll be appearing onstage alongside the magnificent Amy Stewart (author of THE DRUNKEN BOTANIST and other amazing plant books.)
Familiar followers of this page may remember the bright green mossy cocktail that Amy invented for THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS…she's pretty awesome — and that cocktail will be served on May 29th at the event!

Hope to see you!

Dear Liz, I'm a big fan of your work. Here it's SOAT in Vitré, a little medieval French town where I live. I found out about your work around 5 years ago when I was in my sabbatical year in Dublin… Eat, Pray, Love was my bedside book at that time… You're an inspiring human being. Warm regards from this Franco-Brazilian fan Caranna.

Book of the Day!
"A THIRST FOR HOME: A Story of Water across the World", by Christine Ieromino.
Dear Ones —
Can I recommend to you today a wonderful new children's book, written by somebody very special to me?
My first very best friend was a beautiful girl named Christine, whose father worked with my father, and whose mother was friends with my mother. Christine was like a second sister to me, and from birth until I was four years old (when my family moved) we spent pretty much our whole lives together. Her mother was like my second mother, and her house was the first place I ever tasted Italian food — so you KNOW that was influential!
Christine grew up to become a nurse, to marry a great guy, and to have several children. In 2008, she went to Ethiopia to adopt her gorgeous daughter Eva. Christine was deeply moved by the poverty she saw in Ethiopia, and since that time has become passionately active in progressive charities there.
Christine was inspired to write this book by something that she witnessed, soon after she brought Eva home to America. She saw her adopted daughter drinking water out of a puddle in the back yard, and began thinking about the meaning and preciousness of water…
This book (about a young adopted Ethiopian girl and her American family, and the water that connects the two worlds) grew out of that moment. It is the result of years of love, years of passion. It's beautifully illustrated and so very moving.
The book has gotten fantastic reviews already, and I think children and adults will equally love it.
I adore my friend Christine and I'm so proud of what she's made.

THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS…in paperback!
Dear Ones…
Lovely news!
Today is the big reveal of the brand new cover design for the American edition of SOAT in paperback.
How do you all like it?
I think it's lush and vibrant and gorgeous!
As you can see, my publisher incorporated some familiar elements from the hardcover design into this version (the mosses are all still there at the bottom) but they've also added some new things (including an image of White Acre, the Whittaker's Philadelphia estate…)
I like that eye-catching black background, too.
So for all of you who have been patiently waiting to buy the book in paperback, great news — it is coming SOON!
And for all you book club members who have been patiently waiting for a less expensive version of the novel, here it is!
The paperback will be released on June 24th — just in time for summer beach reading…and it is fully portable, at last!
If you would like to pre-order a copy of the paperback, you can do so right here:
