A New York Times bestseller

National Book Award finalist Sy Montgomery reflects on the personalities and quirks of 13 animals--her friends--who have profoundly affected her in this stunning, poetic, and life-affirming memoir featuring illustrations by Rebecca Green.

Understanding someone who belongs to another species can be transformative. No one knows this better than author, naturalist, and adventurer Sy Montgomery. To research her books, Sy has traveled the world and encountered some of the planet's rarest and most beautiful animals. From tarantulas to tigers, Sy's life continually intersects with and is informed by the creatures she meets.

This restorative memoir reflects on the personalities and quirks of thirteen animals--Sy's friends--and the truths revealed by their grace. It also explores vast themes: the otherness and sameness of people and animals; the various ways we learn to love and become empathetic; how we find our passion; how we create our families; coping with loss and despair; gratitude; forgiveness; and most of all, how to be a good creature in the world.

Good fit for a slender build
Size: 38W x 36L, Color: Dark Stonewash
These jeans fit my husband pretty well. He is very tall and has a slender back side so these aren’t to baggy for him. They wash up nice and are a good thick denim fabric. They are very durable and hold up to whatever he gets into. I feel like they are a good value for the price and will continue to buy them for him in the future. Clothing can be difficult for him to find so we are both very happy with these

They fit my thick thighs and bottoms and comfort like no other
Size: 44W x 32L, Color: Dark Denim
I want to cry these are so comfortable. Never in my fat bottomed adult life have I ever initially put on a pair of jeans and felt so at home. Will report back on durability in a few months.

Wrangler for fit, comfort, and quality.
Size: 56W x 32L, Color: Antique Navy
Great fit and great color. These make for a classier looking jean in its dark color. I appreciate the comfortable fit and the fact that they are not the spandex-jeans. I have worn Wrangler jeans all my life, tried many others, but always come back to Wranglers for fit, comfort, and quality. Will definitely buy again.
