Robin Wall Kimmerer, Plant Ecologist, Educator, and author of “Braiding Sweetgrass”

Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living things―from strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichen―provide us with gifts and lessons every day in her best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass. Kimmerer’s original text was adapted for young adults by Monique Gray Smith.
