The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Author Robin Wall Kimmerer and Illustrator John Burgoyne
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass comes The Serviceberry, a bold and inspiring reflection on gratitude, reciprocity, and community. Drawing from Indigenous wisdom and the lessons of the natural world, Robin Wall Kimmerer contrasts our scarcity-based economy with the serviceberry’s model of shared abundance. As she harvests alongside the birds, she reminds us that true wealth lies in relationships, not accumulation. “Serviceberries show us another model,” she writes, “where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.” Both poetic and practical, The Serviceberry offers a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual.”
