Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living thingsâfrom strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichenâprovide us with gifts and lessons every day in her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass. Adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith, this new edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding stems from listening to the earthâs oldest teachers: the 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.
