Braiding Sweetgrass

I was so excited about this book. I love Mother Earth and couldn't wait to hear some Indigenous words of wisdom and more. But I have to say, I was quite disappointed. There were a few great parts. I specifically like the chapter about cattails. But one of the things I do not like, is when an author uses too many adjectives to describe a single thing.
At the beginning was an story about Skywoman, and I wasn't even sure I was listening to the correct book, and thought maybe this was a book for kids. Then, there were times I thought I was listening to a lecture that went into too many scientific details. Listening to the audiobook was good while I was working in my garden. But often a chapter would ramble on, and I didn't worry if I walked away for a minute or two without pausing.
The entire book didn't really have a lot of teaching of plants. It has some, but details on a couple, and skimmed over a lot. The end seemed to get a little political. I understand the need to get the information out, but not sure this was the place.
