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.

Genuinely a life-changing book. Inspires me and shows me new way for me to return to studying and practicing ecology. 

I highly recommend the audiobook because it is read wonderfully by the author.
