Braiding Sweetgrass: For Young Adults

Robin Wall Kimmerer is a botanist, a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and a storyteller who believes that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In this young adult adaptation of the beloved bestseller, Kimmerer invites a new generation to see the natural world differently — not as a collection of resources to be used, but as a community of beings to be listened to.

Through essays that weave together indigenous knowledge and scientific observation, Kimmerer explores the gifts offered by sweetgrass, strawberries, asters, and goldenrod — and asks what it means to give back. Adapted to be accessible and resonant for young readers, this edition is an invitation to fall in love with the living world and to understand our place within it.

Perfect for readers who are curious about ecology, indigenous wisdom, and what it truly means to belong to the earth.
