The potential benefits of wild plants for human health and well-being are wide-ranging.

Whether you are seeking an herbal remedy for a specific ailment or simply want to make the most of the natural bounty that surrounds us, you need look no further than this groundbreaking study.

 


Collected here are insightful tips and detailed descriptions relating to the edibility and healing potential of 100 wild plants of the upper Midwest.

Great book!
Format: Paperback
We read this story as a class read aloud after we read the first Sprinkles and the Unicorn book. They noticed similar characters, and loved the story line. They’re begging me to buy the whole series of this and all the other books! I can’t read them fast enough.

8yr old loves this book!
Format: Paperback
The storyline here is so fun. My 8yr old needs pictures to avoid feeling overwhelmed by word counts. This is a good balance that keeps her engaged. She's chosen to pick up the book to read without being prompted, which is a win.

My daughter likes it
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my reluctant to read 3rd grader. She reads it without me having to tell her to read, and is now carrying it in her backpack to school.

Captured a reluctant readers attention
Format: Kindle
We downloaded this book this morning for the Kindle. My daughter is a reluctant chapter book reader, but she saw the cover and was hooked. She loves cats. She read the whole book independently in one sitting and then started rereading it! I think reading it on the Kindle helped because it gave her percentages of her progress and made her more motivated to finish it!
