NONFICTION – The Serviceberry

PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE – This is “May’s” Nonfiction pick

The unfortunate reality of nonfiction is that it is frequently sad. The Serviceberry is not, and we thought we all could use some brightness after a long winter. Published in 2024, the book critiques consumerism and scarcity, advocating for a shift towards interconnectedness, gratitude, and sharing resources, inspired by how the serviceberry provides for its entire community.

The book is short, so if you want more we highly recommend checking out Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Kimmerer’s breathtaking perma-bestseller.
