Overview

"". . .a soulful, visually stunning journey through art, adventure, and the quiet power of growth."" -- Rue Mapp, Founder and CEO, Outdoor Afro 2025 Banff Mountain Book Competition Finalist in Adventure Travel A graphic memoir that brings together adventure, community, conservation, and personal growth from an award-winning artist and storyteller Based on Jeremy Collins' extensive, art-filled travel journals, Eventually a Sequoia is part memoir, part manifesto. Collins, already highly regarded as an artist and climber, was invited to bring his sketchbook on a new kind of adventure: documenting the experiences of those who live along the endangered Amazon River. From there, his art and his curiosity took him to other endangered corners of the world, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the mountains of Nepal, Bears Ears National Monument, and the soaring redwoods of California. Collins's art-based storytelling captures these experiences in visceral form, from the wonder of passing caribou to the terror of a venomous snakebite. Through it all, he profiles the ""sequoias"" he meets--people whose small seeds produce enormous results, like explorer and film director Céline Cousteau, community organizer and educator Prem Kunwar, Ancient Forest Society founder Wendy Baxter, and more. Eventually a Sequoia is an inspirational and vivid exploration of the natural world and how it can empower an individual to grow, change, heal, and thrive.
