What Is An Herbalist? Amber Rae Johnson

Big Questions is a series of books that address often heavy topics in a gentle and inclusive way that children can comprehend. The series promotes love and kindness and helps kids understand that not everyone is the same, and that's perfectly okay! What is an Herbalist was written to introduce children to the idea of medicinal plants and the benefits of that knowledge. While medical doctors are wonderful assets, there is a world of holistic practitioners that can also aid us in feeling our best. This series aims to answer big questions about those practices sporadically within the series. What is an herbalist touches on three specific common plants (arnica, dandelion, and plantain) and some of their uses throughout the storyline making it a fun book for a home school lesson. In fact, all of the Big Questions books are designed specifically with homeschoolers in mind and there are fun activity pages related to the contents in the back of every book!
