Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

5.0

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Worth the hype! I am generally a little wary of memoirs, and I was so pleasantly surprised to find that Braiding Sweetgrass reads as a collection of essays instead. While Wall Kimmerer does draw form her experiences, this collection is well-tempered by her background as a Potawatomi botanist and a poet. I found the read thought-provoking and beautiful.
