Amazing book on the cultural history of mosses and the teachings that could easily be used as a metaphor not only for other plants but also the "real world". Kimmerer cannot do anything wrong and she especially writes so well about plants and the knowledge she's learned along the way.

I just love Robin Wall Kimmerer's writing. Only she can write a book about moss that is engaging, informative, and somehow emotional too??? I am looking forward to spending more time looking closely at the tinier parts of the natural world.

Another lovely read from Robin Wall Kimmerer. She always makes me think about things in ways I've never thought of. Early on she states, "In indigenous ways of knowing, we say that a thing cannot be understood until it is known by all four aspects of our being: mind, body, emotion, and spirit." The essays go on to do just that. Thank you, Autumn, for this lovely reading experience!
