ReceptionThe book was positively received, including a review from Publishers Weekly, which said of My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago, "this impressive, cloth-bound debut is a lucid perspective on the prairie and its native plants and animals; it is celebratory, soulful and poetic, evoking a strong affection for Chicago's unchecked wilderness in a city best known for its iconic lakefront and skyscrapers."[5] References1. ^{{cite book |last=MacDonald |first=Mike |date=2015 |title=My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago |url=http://chicagonaturenow.com/chicago-nature-book/ |location=Downers Grove, Illinois |publisher=Morning Dew Press |isbn=978-0-9963119-0-8}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/chicago-prairie-wilderness-photography-book-mike-macdonald-interview/ |title=Sunday Sitdown: Photographer journeys to the ‘wilds of Chicago’ |last=Di Nunzio |first=Miriam |date=March 26, 2016 |website=Chicago Sun Times |publisher=Sun Times |access-date=June 22, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://chicagotonight.wttw.com/2016/01/05/photographer-captures-wilds-chicago-new-book |title=Photographer Captures the ‘Wilds of Chicago’ in New Book |last1=Silets |first1=Alexandra |last2=Palmore |first2=Rebecca |date=January 5, 2016 |website=WTTW Website |publisher=WTTW |access-date=June 20, 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://chicagonaturenow.com/ |website=Chicago Nature Now! |title= Homepage |access-date=May 25, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-9963119-0-8 |title=Review: My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago: A Celebration of Chicago- land’s Startling Natural Wonders |date=April 4, 2016 |website=Publishers Weekly |publisher=PWxyz, LLC |access-date=June 20, 2016}} External links
