BRAIDING SWEETGRASS by Robin Wall Kimmerer

by: Robin Ward Kimmerer

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love, calls this “A Hymn of Love to the World” and it is also extravagantly praised by Jane Goodall. First published in 2013 by a small press, it’s now available from Penguin and has become a renowned bestseller. Kimmerer is a scientist but her research and even her abilities have been enriched by her Native American heritage. The book combines personal memoir, indigenous mythology, botany and mythology to become an uplifting and encouraging homage to natural beauty. The book is so well-written that every page you read is a joy. All the plants around us have messages to teach us if we only learn how to listen. We can only change the world for the better when we work alongside all the life that’s flourishing around us. As we know, that’s the great message from Native American spirituality.
