About this listen

 'We are all the better for his way of seeing the world' Dame Judi Dench
'He is delight and joy personified' - Marian Keyes
'Set to become BBC's next David Attenborough' - DAILY MAIL
'Brings a little bit of joy to us all' - GUARDIAN

Hamza Yassin loves being outdoors in nature. As a child who struggled with dyslexia at school, he always longed to be in the world outside the classroom. Thankfully, due to a forward-thinking teacher who encouraged him to run outside before a lesson, Hamza embraced his love of nature from an early age. There he discovered that his dyslexia allowed him to see the world in a special way.

Homeward Bound tells the story of Hamza's fascination with the outdoors. From learning to ring birds in Wales to chasing orca in Scotland - Hamza explores wildlife across the British Isles and delights in the hidden life that is found there. Throughout his journey, he shows us the wonder of wildlife and how mother nature is a home for us all.

Packed with charming personal stories, including life in the Scottish Highlands, and his adventures as a wildlife cameraman - Hamza shares the joy of nature and shows us how it has made him who he is today.©2025 Hamza Yassin Nature & Ecology Outdoors & Nature Science Walking Highlander

Absolutely loved the book and listened to it in one go. The only thing that could have improved the book was if the author had read the whole book himself.
