ohhh what a lovely list idea! braiding sweetgrass by robin wall kimmerer has a version for younger readers if you are open to suggestions :D
Thank you for the suggestion! I created a separate list for young reader adaptions of amazing nonfiction (there are quite a few). I tried to add that book, but the website is unfortunately equating it with the original book, not picking up on the "adaption for young adults" that is part of the title on goodreads. Hopefully, this is resolved soon, but that list is called "Young Reader Adaptions of Amazing Nonfiction."
Ohhhh that’s so frustrating, hopefully they can resolve that soon! Excited to check out the companion list !!
