In The Comfort of Crows , Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer. Along the way, we also glimpse the changing rhythms of a human life. Grown children, unexpectedly home during the pandemic, prepare to depart once more. Birdsong and night-blooming flowers evoke generations past. The city and the country where Renkl raised her family transform a little more with each passing day. And the natural world, now in visible flux, requires every ounce of hope and commitment from the author—and from us. For, as Renkl writes, “radiant things are bursting forth in the darkest places, in the smallest nooks and deepest cracks of the hidden world.” With fifty-two original color artworks by the author’s brother, Billy Renkl, The Comfort of Crows is a lovely and deeply moving book from a cherished observer of the natural world. Review: Amazing read - I love every part of this book and it made me think about the environment around me. Well written book. Review: A beautiful visit and escape from the concrete jungle - Exceptional and exquisite. Renkl taps into the natural world with both empathy and clear headedness. I read one chapter per week as a journey throughout the year. Even sitting in my inner city condo, in my mind I could get out and feel the warm breezes, hear the chatter of birds, and know that flowers and insects were working together to create bounty. The art work is beautiful and twines nicely with the text. It was a lovely reading experience. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #307,750 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #424 in Earth Sciences Textbooks #1,414 in Earth Sciences Books #5,157 in Family & Relationships | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,418 Reviews | ## Images ![The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1ZUV+sw4aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing read *by A***E on 15 October 2024* I love every part of this book and it made me think about the environment around me.

It was a lovely reading experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Book!!!! *by A***E on 28 December 2024* Comfort of Crows" isn’t the type of book I’d usually pick up, but it turned out to be amazing. It’s a beautiful meditation on the changing seasons in nature, filled with vivid and colorful illustrations that bring the content to life. The book is divided into 52 chapters, one for each week of the year, making it a perfect companion throughout the seasons. This is definitely a book that’s better enjoyed as a hard copy rather than an audiobook or e-reader. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone seeking a thoughtful, reflective read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/778340369-the-comfort-of-crows-a-backyard-year](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/778340369-the-comfort-of-crows-a-backyard-year) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
