Named a Best Book of the Fall by New York Times Book Review , Oprah Daily , Time , Lithub , BookPage , and Publishers Weekly " The Serviceberry is a profoundly important book about how we might remodel consumer economies around mutuality, generosity, and bountifulness.

I hope to give this book to everybody." --Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See and Cloud Cuckoo Land "A moving meditation on what a giving tree can teach us about building a fairer society. A compelling argument for a more ethical economy." -- TIME "Robin Wall Kimmerer, celebrated author of Braiding Sweetgrass , gifts her readers once again with this gorgeous meditation on reciprocity and abundance in nature. Beautifully illustrated, brimming and buzzing with plant and animal life, The Serviceberry is a lyrical call to action." -- Oprah Daily "A delightful new book that reflects on the natural world and how we can derive lessons on gratitude, reciprocity and community to flourish mutually.

" -- Seattle Times "Kimmerer's deeply rooted, wise, and inspiring reflections coalesce into a fresh approach to connecting ecology, economics, and ethics.
