Leigh Joseph

March 24th, 2025

Passionate ethnobotanist and author Leigh Joseph uses her book, The Land Knows Me: A Nature Walk Exploring Indigenous Wisdom (Epic Ink/becker&mayer! kids $25.99) to help kids and teens learn about plants by observing and interacting with living examples. Joseph and the characters in her book provide a hands-on experience through the lens of Indigenous plant relationships and Squamish First Nation’s traditions. Included are informative sidebars, reflection questions, how-to crafts, yummy treats and language lessons. Joseph included some plant names in Squamish and English. Joseph, a member of the Squamish Nation, teamed up with BC-based illustrator Natalie Schnitter to create this educational brightly-coloured walk through nature.
