Happiness, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize in 2017. She

A powerful, beautiful book. Its fierce love - of the land, the
ocean, the elders and the ancestors - warms the heart and moves the
spirit.
*Alice Walker, author of THE COLOR PURPLE*
Julian Aguon speaks to the soul. His words - gentle, fierce,
luminous and haunting - urge us to look deeper. To be kind, to be
human. To cherish the earth. I am in love!
*Isabella Tree, author of WILDING*
The shortest BIG book I've ever read...strong and luminous as a
needed beacon in a fog of disinformation and dismay, Julian Aguon
with this small book emerges already a giant.
*Tommy Orange, author of THERE THERE*
No Country For Eight-Spot Butterflies broke my heart into anger and
remade it into hope. Full of a fierce empathy, it is a brilliant,
incandescent book. Julian Aguon shows us how love and beauty might
guide us into a better, more equitable world.
*Seán Hewitt*
A breathtaking book and I mean it - this book took my breath away.
No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is so alive with passion,
wisdom and heart, you can almost feel its pulse.
*Junot Díaz, author of THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO*
