The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer

4.0

Kimmerer expands on a few of the concepts she explores in Braiding Sweetgrass, namely the honorable harvest and a gift economy. Those were some of my favorite topics in BS and I really enjoyed this follow-up. I might re-read the book on paper, because while I really enjoyed hearing Kimmerer's calming narration of the essay, I felt I might have missed some things as I was doing my chores, etc. and listening. Those interested in Kimmerer's work will find this a good introduction to her style before you dive into something much heartier like BS, and those who loved BS like I did, will also likely enjoy this short book.
