This is one of the best books I have ever read! I think that this book is a really important insight into the stories we have lost and the the journey of receiving and giving. I think that every high school student should be required to read this in school. I know what it means to be required to read something, but this book was very touching in so many ways that I cannot even . I grew up, honoring the plants and the animals around me and I see that so many humans don’t even notice them. If everybody could be given this book to read as a group and discuss, maybe they would have an inkling, a spark of to know the other beings that we reside on this earth with. Thank you for writing this incredible story.

I learned much about the natives of America! I mean they were here first. From now on I will gift Mother Earth and acknowledge her gift to me and properly thank her. Thanks for sharing this important message with me.

a vulnerable story densely packed with high value technical and cultural language that elevates contemporary ecology planning management and engineering practices for a practical way forward possibly partially appropriating lost indigenous knowledge of being in balance with Earth’s gifts , planting growing harvesting braiding and burning sweet grass is a book filled with the author’s love for the world that captures a wide variety of meaningful nuances of people’s complex relationships with the land

This book is a gem. Beautifully written & powerfully inspirational.

Magnificent, I drank in every word. I wish I could sit at the feet of Robin Wall Kimerer and listen to her stories first hand, but sadly I can’t so this book at least will suffice, and it feels through the pages that I am sitting with her, learning from her and hearing her voice. Rich and poetic - this book will change the way you view the world. It is magnificent.

Indigenous wisdom is woven beautifully with scientific inquiry and cultural awareness. Would recommend for those searching for diversity in thought.

This is an amazing work. Robin Kimmerer is a scientist who writes as a poet. I wish our politicians read this book and take appropriate action

This book is so foundational, that anyone who works for change, for reversing global warming, for justice will be better prepared to face our uncertain future. Also some of the best prose poetry being written today.

One of the most beautifully written love letters to nature I’ve ever read. It was recommended to me by a friend. Once I started reading I thirsted for it at the start of each day. I have been buying up every copy I find and sharing it with my friends who love the earth and plants as much as I do. Thank you Robin.

This book of ancient teachings is so relevant…
