More Like This PleaseWhat a work of art. It's a non-fiction about nature that feels like a fictional adventure, but it's all true. I recommend this to anyone interested in learning about the gifts from Mother Earth, and North American indigenous cultures. This should become a required reading at some point in general North American education. There's so much knowledge shared in these pages. Please don't let this one out of your reading lists.
I listened to the audiobook version, because I'm blind. If there's an audiobook, I'll listen to that over my robotic screen reader. It was narrated by the author, and her voice is calm and soothing, which makes this an even more enjoyable experience.

I loved the blend of science, indigenous teachings, and memoir. It's poetic, philopshical, and hopeful. My only small complaint was it sometimes felt a little repetitive and overall I think it was a little long.
The audiobook narrated by the author is great, and now I'm planning to add a physical copy to my collection.
