Can You Hear the Plants Speak?

*Signed Bookplates!*

Can You Hear the Plants Speak? is a lyrical multigenerational story of the lessons we learn from our plant relatives when we listen to what they have to teach us. Beautiful text by Cahuilla activist and plantsman Nicholas Hummingbird with coauthor Julia Wasson, and vibrant illustrations by Madelyn Goodnight (Chickasaw).

Our people believe spirit lives in everything.

Mountain, river, wind, tree.                                                                                                                

Come, take a walk with me.

What do we learn from plants when we listen to them speaking? Indigenous plantsman Nicholas Hummingbird calls on the legacy of his great-grandparents to remember how one drop of rain, one seed, one plant can renew a cycle of hope and connection—for him and for each of us.
