Book & Trail Club - Edwards Gardens

Each month, we will gather to meet one another, go for a screen-free guided walk followed by a coffee chat, and discuss our parenting journeys.

We choose a book to bring a theme forward for intentional conversations, but it's not necessary for participants to read the book or even pick it up if you don't have time!

That's what your Book & Trail Club hosts are for. We bring reflections about the book to share with parents who join us with curiosity and open hearts.

If parents want to dig deeper before or after the event, the books are easily accessible at local libraries in print, digital or audio formats, and are also available on popular apps such as Audible and Spotify.

Never Enough
Jennifer Breheny

Jennifer Breheny Wallace examines how toxic achievement culture is driving anxiety, depression, and self-harm among high-achieving students. Fueled by income inequality and societal pressure, kids are taught their worth hinges on accomplishments. Wallace argues that helping children feel they inherently matter builds the resilience needed to truly thrive.
