I got a signed book from an book author!

Yes, indeed, how cool is that? I actually got a signed book from a real book author!

You can watch a video of me opening my package and checking out the book here on my YouTube.

Soooo coool! A while ago me and my pet human (aka dad) where at one of my favorite thrift stores and on our way out we met a very nice lady, which had some questions about me

After a bit of conversation she told me and dad that she actually wrote a book called Dichter Bij De Natuur which is Dutch for ‘Closer to Nature‘

In that book she also wrote a section about a personal meeting with a pigeon she had , after reading her segment about him, he seemed like a super nice fella.

She asked if she could send me a copy of her book and of course dad said: Sure, no problem.

So far Dad has already read a few sections to me while I was sitting and listening on pigeon my bed.

This book shares years of research from the author Agnes van den Berg (who is actually an psychologist and a real professor!) about the calming and health effects from nature, she also takes it a bit further by diving into the spiritual side of it in a “no-nonsense way” (to quote Agnes her book).

If you are interested in the book (and you can read Dutch, because the book is in Dutch ), you can get your copy via Vonk Uitgevers

The illustrations are made by @lotteklaver.eu (on Instagram)

Note: In my video (and the blog category) I did captioned/listed it as ‘sponsored product placement’ because I got this book for free as a gift from the Author, HOWEVER there was/is no expectation that I would show it on my socials or website She just gifted it to me due to the talk we had about animals, nature and me. However, because it was a free gift I did want to be fully transparent and list it as sponsored item .
