Botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer weaves together personal stories, Indigenous wisdom, and scientific insights to reveal the deep connections between humans and the living earth. From the bacterium in our bellies to the trees that give us breath, Kimmerer illuminates the intricate web of kinship that sustains all life. Her poetic and profound journey invites us to see ourselves as part of, not apart from, the natural world - and to embrace our responsibilities as caretakers of our shared home.
