Reviews

Her words were an awakening
*Guardian*

It is beautiful and unusual, the rare book that might cause you to forever see the world a little differently
*Observer*

Remarkable, wise and potentially paradigm-shifting
*Guardian*

Braiding Sweetgrass is the book we all need right now. It is a vision of a new world, of reciprocity, gratitude and seeing the living world for what it is: an abundance of gifts. Kimmerer is uniquely placed to braid indigenous knowledge with scientific learnings and she does it with kindness, ingenuity and a poet's prose. It is truly the text for our times.
*author of Losing Eden*

An extraordinary book, showing how the factual, objective approach of science can be enriched by the ancient knowledge of the indigenous people. It is the way she captures beauty that I love the most - the images of giant cedars and wild strawberries, a forest in the rain and a meadow of fragrant sweetgrass will stay with you long after you read the last page
*Jane Goodall*

One of the most beautiful books I've ever read.
*Daily Herald*

I give daily thanks for Robin Wall Kimmerer for being a font of endless knowledge, both mental and spiritual.
*The New York Times*

Reading this book was like looking at the world afresh. Radical, hopeful, honest and wise, Robin Wall Kimmerer has woven us a precious heartsong for difficult times
*Helen Jukes*

A journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise
*Elizabeth Gilbert*

Robin Wall Kimmerer opens a sense of wonder and humility for the intelligence in all kinds of life we are used to naming and imagining as inanimate.
*Krista Tippett*
