Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults — Robin Wall Kimmerer, Adapted by Monique Gray Smith
Adapted from the #1 New York Times Bestseller
Drawing on both her work as a botanist and her teachings as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Robin Wall Kimmerer invites young readers to see the natural world in a new way. In this adaptation of her bestselling book Braiding Sweetgrass, she explores how plants, animals, and ecosystems can be our teachers—and how listening to them can deepen our understanding of our place in the world.
Adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith, this edition combines stories, Indigenous knowledge, and scientific insight to explore themes of reciprocity, gratitude, and our relationship with the earth. Informative sidebars, reflection questions, and artwork by Nicole Neidhardt help make these ideas accessible and engaging for younger readers.
A thoughtful and inspiring introduction to one of the most influential environmental books of our time.
