Bud finds her gift
- New York, NY, USA Harper Collins Publishers 2025
When Bud notices everyone bustling about, intent on their chores and their screens, she is certain they are doing important things, and she wants to be included. But her wise grandmother shows her a different way to find belonging, one that relies on stillness and observing the natural world. As Bud discovers the freely given gifts of the Earth, she wonders how to join the cycle of reciprocity: What gift does she have to offer?
Infused with warmth, humor, and insight and beautifully illustrated by Naoko Stoop, the first picture book by renowned author and Indigenous ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer inspires readers to treasure nature's generosity and the gifts each one of us can share with the Earth.
