Jayden and a new friend bring nature to the city in this timeless story about a community garden Amidst all the buildings, people, and traffic in his neighborhood, Jayden sees nature everywhere: the squirrels scrounging, the cardinals calling, and the dandelions growing. But Mama doesn’t believe there’s nature in the city. So Jayden sets out to help Mama see what he sees. With the help of his friend Mr. Curtis, Jayden plants the seeds of a community garden and brings together his neighbors—and Mama—to show them the magic of nature in the middle of the city.

Hazel Cherokee and Booth Dixon had been good friends since college. Booth would do anything for her. Hazel had the unpleasant task of visiting her father one last time in jail to find out Grandma’s last wishes, and she needed some muscle in case her dad got out of hand. He was a mean man and deserved everything he was getting. Booth couldn’t make it, but he’d send one of his brothers… As soon as Jayden came into the room, he stared at her like he’d never seen a woman before. She was getting annoyed with him because he just kept staring. “I’m a woman. Haven’t you ever seen one before?” He nodded, then grinned. “You’re not all that charming if that’s what you’re going for. Sit down and keep an eye on my father. That’s what you’re here for, isn’t it?” “Yes. I’ll protect you with my life.” She said that they’d have him chained up. She doubted that it would ever go that far. “You never know. Some people are stupider than you think. But he won’t touch you. I swear it on my mother’s heart.”

From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.
