Lisa Tarrant“I read this book and Kimmerer’s other book Braiding Sweetgrass at the beginning of the year, and they really set my intentions for 2026. This book is a meditation on reciprocity, regeneration, and how “all flourishing is mutual.” Definitely one I plan to re-read every year.”

Jenni“A great, short read to shift your thinking towards reciprocity and “enough-ness”. Loved this one and plan to read her longer book, Braiding Sweetgrass, hopefully soon!”

grace“a quick, easy listen that will inspire you to treat all of the mundane things in your life as precious, handmade gifts. I listened to it on a forest walk, and it couldn’t have been more pleasant :)”
