About the book:

Cover of Braiding Sweetgrass"Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer

This nonfiction pick explores the relationship between humans and nature by weaving together indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and Kimmerer’s own personal experiences. The book emphasizes reciprocity and gratitude as essential components of a healthy relationship with the Earth, using sweetgrass as a metaphor for this interconnectedness. Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, advocates for a shift in perspective, urging readers to recognize the gifts of the natural world and to return those gifts in kind.
