Anka Wandzel takes us on a journey through the thickets and behind the scenes of ecological projects by well-known Polish artists such as Joanna Rajkowska, Diana Lelonek, Karolina Grzywnowicz, and Cecylia Malik. In the era of climate change, the author appreciates the creativity and effort of those who know the most about survival and cooperation: technical staff, migrants, mothers, activists, gardeners, or people in homelessness. Together with mulberries, reeds, mushrooms, currants, mosses, weeds, and storks, they co-create a beautiful, albeit fragile and imperfect world.

The background to this story is the author's personal experiences with difficult pregnancies and the beginnings of motherhood in the era of pandemics, wars, and Black Protests. Seeking solace in creative closeness with nature and interspecies encounters, Wandzel reminds us how important the principle "you will never walk alone" is for our common survival. It is a book that inspires action and shows that even in the most difficult moments you can find hope and strength to survive.
