A writer of “rare grace,” Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer offers powerful and poetic explorations of how human beings connect with nature and one another. Drawing from her background as both a botanist and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Kimmerer invites all of us to understand ecological systems with gratitude, mutual respect, and interconnectedness, allowing us to recognize the entire natural world as worthy of care.
