Teens are invited to sign up for our Teen Book Bag to receive this month’s selection, Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults by Robin Wall Kimmerer, along with a selection of goodies! Our next meeting will be held on February 7th at 3:30 pm, where we will discuss the book and reflect on themes of gratitude, nature, and fresh perspectives to kick off the new year.
Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living things--from strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichen--provide 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 earth's 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.
This inspiring adaptation of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s beloved work blends science, storytelling, and Indigenous wisdom to explore our relationship with the natural world. Thought-provoking and deeply moving, it invites readers to embrace gratitude, reciprocity, and the interconnectedness of all living things. It’s a perfect read for anyone seeking a fresh perspective and a deeper connection to nature.
