Braiding Sweetgrass For Young Adults
Trade paperback edition in very good condition.
“I’ve heard it said that sometimes, in return for the gifts of the earth, gratitude is enough. It is our uniquely human gift to express thanks because we have the awareness and the collective memory to remember that the world could be less generous than it is. I think we are called to go beyond cultures of gratitude, to once again become cultures of reciprocity.”
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 Braiding Sweetgrass. Adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith, this edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding stems from listening to the earth’s oldest plants around us. With informative sidebars, reflection questions, and art from illustrator Nicole Neidhardt, Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults brings indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the lessons of plant life to a new generation.
