Listening to this book is like taking a thermos of tea on a hike with the wisest grandmother you know who happens to be a scientist passionate about both ecology and good storytelling. 

Indigenous ecologist and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer is a treasure. Her author-read audiobook is soothing, poetic, and heartfelt. Definitely one of the best books I've read this year.

3.25

The way the author talks about their connection to nature is truly evocative and beautiful.  There’s a familial component to it that, at first, was comforting in that you can find a community all around you if you would but care to look.  But then it began to center motherhood and the assumption that if female, you too will be a mother and experience these things, which was unfortunate.  It became a repetitive narrative that dragged itself to the finish line.
