Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults

Description

Adapted by Monique Gray Smith, with informative sidebars, reflection questions, and art from Nicole Neidhardt, “Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults” brings Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the lessons of plant life to a new generation.

Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living things—from strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichen—provide us with gifts and lessons every day in her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass. This new edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding stems from listening to the earth’s oldest teachers: the plants around us.
