How are we shaped by where we live? This collection of personal essays recounts the time the author spent on a small acreage in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Shiregreene provided many opportunities to observe nature day by day, season by season. Animal tracks in the snow revealed others who shared this place, and springtime songs gave clues to returning birds. Trails led through nearby fields as crops ripened under the summer sun, and a starry dome glittered above this 'dark sky place' in fall. The author's responses to each season's discoveries became woven into her identity and her awareness of what matters.

While Gillian Richardson has lived across southern Canada, time spent in the Prince Edward Island countryside kindled her passions for nature and science. They inspired this former Teacher-Librarian and writing instructor to write 20 children's books, including both fiction (novels, picture books, chapter books, short stories), and nonfiction. Bestsellers, Kaboom! Explosions of All Kinds, and 10 Plants That Shook the World, won international awards. Animal characters came to life in fun ebook adventures, Ollie Buggins, Detective? and Take Me With You. A collection of short stories with nature themes became An Instinct for Survival. Now, casting a look back, this collection of personal essays for older readers-Seasons at Shiregreene--recounts the Prince Edward Island experience.
