Description

Captivating and stunning photographs will inspire as you follow Philippe in his many worldly adventures and moments!

Prairie Roots and Wings is not only Philippe Sabourin's memoir of growing up in the Red River Valley, it is a call to action to make our planet more sustainable and beautiful for our survival. The prairie farm in the '50s and '60s provided a simpler way of life, being closer to nature and growing one's food. Settled in part by Francophones and Mennonites, the Red River Valley saw the arrival of the first Sabourins in 1891. This history of farming continued through the generations and inspired Philippe's passion for the land, food production and sustainability. From those prairie roots, he spreads his wings in adventures that take him across the globe-from the rainforests of the Amazon to the grasslands of the Serengeti, from the waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the Arctic village of Tuktoyaktuk and from the marine reserve of the Galapagos to the amazing ecosystem of the Okavango Delta.
Philippe shares important topics close to his heart: family, history, environmental and climate change challenges, future foods production, social inequities and how we can evolve to make this Earth a better place. A theme is woven throughout the book: the spirit of Ubuntu, humanity to others. When we cultivate an awareness of our common humanity, our world will be better equipped to solve the challenges and achieve peace and happiness for all.
