The 2026 Summer Reading Program theme, "Unearth a Story," is an invitation to dig deeper into the soil beneath our feet and the natural world that connects us all. While children and teens across the country are busy discovering adventure through the program's nature-themed lineup, adults don't have to miss out. Whether you're a lifelong naturalist or simply someone who wants to read alongside the younger bookworms in your life, this season's adult titles offer something rich for every kind of reader.


Start underground. Suzanne Simard, the scientist who introduced readers to the hidden social lives of trees in Finding the Mother Tree, is back with When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World (Knopf, March 2026). This time, Simard turns her attention to recovery — how forests rebuild themselves after fire, drought, and disruption through the intricate relationships between trees, fungi, and soil. It's a hopeful book for uncertain times.
For those who want to look up from the roots and into the branches, Harriet Rix's The Genius of Trees: How They Mastered the Elements and Shaped the World (Penguin Random House, April 2026) offers a more provocative angle. Rix argues that trees aren't passive inhabitants of our world, but they're active participants. It's natural history with a twist of audacity.


Not every story of nature is peaceful, of course. Matthew Wolfe's Fires in the Night: The Earth Liberation Front, the FBI, and a Secret History of EcoSabotage (Viking, June 2026) unearths a darker, more contested chapter of environmentalism — one involving radical activism, federal surveillance, and the burning question of how far people will go to protect the planet. It's a gripping read that will attract true crime fans, as well.
Back to the lighter side, Matt Sewell's A Little Bird Told Me (HarperCollins UK, March 2026) is a charming, beautifully illustrated exploration of how birds have shaped our language and idioms over centuries. Perfect for dipping in and out, it's the kind of book that makes you see the ordinary world a little differently, and chuckle while you do so.
Urban homesteaders, current and aspiring, will find plenty to love in Chris Fitch's Wild Cities: Journeys through the Modern Urban Jungle (Sourcebooks, April 2026), which explores how wildlife is reclaiming and reshaping cities like Tokyo and Nairobi — a timely reminder that nature doesn't wait for an invitation.

And for adults who enjoy crossing genre lines, two titles bridge the gap between grown-up and younger readers. Andie Holman's romantasy novel The Mermaid's Wrath (Sourcebooks, March 2026) weaves mythology and climate anxiety into an epic underwater battle, while Meera Subramanian and Danica Novgorodoff's graphic narrative nonfiction work A Better World Is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis (First Second, March 2026) follows real young activists demanding change — a moving, visually stunning read that works for teens and adults alike.
