Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults; I Hope; & When We Are Kind (3 books)

Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants is the adaption of Robin Wall Kimmerer's best-selling book Braiding Sweetgrass. This book is adapted by Monique Gray Smith and illustrated by Nicole Neidhardt. 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. With informative sidebars, reflection questions, and art from illustrator Nicole Neidhardt, Braiding Sweetgrass for Young Adults brings Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the lessons of plant life to a new generation.

I Hope is written by Monique Gray Smith, a mixed-heritage author of Cree, Lakota and Scottish ancestry, and illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. The hopes we have for the children in our lives are endless. We want our young people to thrive and experience all that life has to offer, but we also feel protective of them. Using simple but powerful statements, Monique Gray Smith delivers a touching message about loving, nurturing and wishing the best for our children. Paired with Gabrielle Grimard's warm and enchanting illustrations, the message in I Hope will resonate with all parents, grandparents and caregivers.

When We Are Kind is a children's picture book by Monique Gray Smith of Cree, Lakota and Scottish ancestry; and illustrated by Nicole Neidhardt, who is Diné (Navajo) on her mother's side and a blend of European ancestry on her father's side. When We Are Kind celebrates simple acts of everyday kindness and encourages children to explore how they feel when they initiate and receive acts of kindness in their lives. Celebrated author Monique Gray Smith has written many books on the topics of resilience and reconciliation and communicates an important message through carefully chosen words for readers of all ages. This book encourages children to be kind to others and to themselves.
