Join us for a special evening at The Norwich Bookstore as we celebrate The Promise of Sunrise: Finding Solace in a Broken World, the latest book from award-winning nature writer and former Bronx Zoo zoologist Ted Levin, featuring stunning illustrations by acclaimed watercolor artist Jeanette Fournier.
During the COVID lockdown, Levin found himself rediscovering the beauty of his home ground—the Thetford, Vermont hillside where he lived for decades. Through daily observations of the changing seasons, he deepened his connection to the land, ultimately leading him to a new home on Hurricane Hill in Hartford, Vermont. The Promise of Sunrise is both a chronicle of that journey and an invitation to embrace the solace nature offers, even in uncertain times.
Levin, a Burroughs Medal-winning author, has written for Audubon, Sierra, The New York Times, and many other publications. His books include Backtracking: The Way of a Naturalist and America’s Snake: The Rise and Fall of the Timber Rattlesnake, praised by E.O. Wilson as “a beautifully written book [that] demonstrates just how good nature literature can be.”
Illustrator Jeanette Fournier brings Levin’s world to life with her evocative watercolor paintings, inspired by her deep appreciation for wildlife and the natural world. A self-taught artist, her work has been featured in regional and national exhibitions, and she is a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society and North East Watercolor Society.
