How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, 5x7, 128 pp., 2024, ages teen and up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobin is donating her advance payments from this book as a reciprocal gift, back to the land, for land protection, restoration, and justice.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44196345151685,"sku":"K082SS","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8840\/3653\/files\/K082SS.webp?v=1730734348"},{"product_id":"booklet-pa-lante-glimpses-of-immigrant-stories","title":"Booklet - ¡PÁ LANTE - ONWARD! - Glimpses of Immigrant Stories","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"CENTER\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"es-MX\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEARLY SELECTIONS FROM OUR COMMUNAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"es-MX\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"es-MX\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBOOK OF NON-FICTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"CENTER\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSo many of us come here to give our youth, health, and sweat to this land and people only to return to our home countries old, sick, hurt, or empty-handed.

Each child feels very alone until they begin to share their stories and discover that it is nearly always possible to find someone a little like you. López’s vibrant illustrations bring the characters’ hidden and unspoken thoughts to light with fantastic, swirling color. Shifting hues and textures across the page convey their deep loneliness and then slowly transition into bright hopeful possibilities. Full-bleed illustrations on every page are thick with collaged patterns and textures that pair perfectly with melodic prose that begs to be read aloud. . . . There’s an essential acknowledgment that everyone will experience a time when no one is quite like them, when they can’t find their voice, or when they feel very alone. Woodson’s superlative text sees each character turn that moment of desolation into an opportunity to be brave and find hope in what they have in common. This masterful story deserves a place in every library.”                                                                        \u003c\/span\u003e–\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003e, starred review \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin\/putnam\/random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45066190291141,"sku":"K095PE","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8840\/3653\/files\/K095_TheDayYouBegin.jpg?v=1756919265"},{"product_id":"book-bud-finds-her-gift-copy","title":"Book - Thanku - Poems of Gratitude","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiranda Paul, editor; Marlena Myles, illustration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoems explore a wide range of ways to be grateful (from a puppy to family to gratitude\u003cbr\u003efor the sky).
