The Liora Storybook

The Liora Storybook
A collection of stories exploring communication between
humans, animals and the more-than-human world.
Would you like to imagine — really, carefully — what a first dialogue might feel like, spoken in Liora? Between a human and, say… a whale. Or a raven. Or a forest.
Shall we try?
