SUMMARY:Northshire Bookstore: Madison Murphy Barney - Our Ancestors Want Us
  to Be Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:The author will share her book\, which draws on her Indigenous 
 roots and guides the reader on a journey to become more human through acti
 ng like mushrooms. The more we start to live like mushrooms\, the more hea
 lthy\, just\, and abundant our lives will be. \n\nUnlike other mushroom-fo
 cused books\, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms weaves the guiding att
 ributes of mushrooms and ancestral wisdom into an inspiring metaphor that 
 calls us back into the right relationship with each other and with our pla
 net.Written with warmth\, spirit\, and whimsy\, Our Ancestors Want Us to B
 e Mushrooms enchants the reader into a more engaged life with the world an
 d themselves by embodying the innate qualities of the wondrous mycelial wo
 rld.\n\n“What if the answers aren’t above us\, but beneath our feet? I
 n this tender\, imaginative book\, mushrooms become a guide for living wit
 h more care\, reciprocity\, and wonder. Drawing on ancestral memory and th
 e quiet wisdom of the natural world\, Madison Murphy Barney traces a path 
 toward a life shaped by cycles\, connection\, and attention to what’s al
 ready here. A small\, luminous call to return. Barney has a way of making 
 the reader feel like they are just walking with her through the woods\, le
 arning about the ways we are all interconnected.” —Cody Cook-Parrott\,
