Synopsis

What are the animals around you trying to tell you?

The crow that keeps crossing your path. The butterfly that brushes past your ear at exactly the right moment. The feeling that an encounter with an animal is more than coincidence.

Maybe it is.

In Hidden Messages of Everyday Animals, wildlife storyteller Querine van Grinsven takes you into a world we often overlook, yet one that is always right beside us. Drawing on her background in wildlife ecology and a life spent among animals across six continents, she shows how 33 everyday animals can carry a deeper meaning.

This is not a field guide. It is a companion for anyone who senses there is more.

What you'll discover in this book:

• The symbolic and spiritual meaning of 33 familiar animals — so the next time one appears, you'll know what to look for


• Personal encounters and reflections that teach you to look differently


• Practical ways to become more aware of nature's signals


• A rich weave of folklore, natural knowledge, and intuition — from ravens and dragonflies to horses and foxes


• Original images in a timeless wildlife storytelling style


• A bonus chapter on animals that are often mistaken for one another, so you can tell apart the messengers you meet

Whether you feel deeply connected to animals, are open to signs, or simply long for more stillness and connection with nature, this book helps you see the world with new eyes.

Slower. Deeper. More attentive.

Who is this book for?
For you, if you:

• sense that animals are more than what you see with your eyes


• look for meaning in small, everyday moments


• long for more stillness, intuition, and connection with nature


• are moved by symbolism, personal growth, and quiet

If you love Animal Speak by Ted Andrews or The Secret Language of Animals, you'll treasure this heartfelt addition to your shelf.

Also available as an audiobook, narrated by Nicky Griffiths.

This book invites you to pause. To look. To truly listen.

Because maybe, nature has been trying to tell you something for a very long time.
