Plants of all kinds fill a blooming landscape--and offer healing and knowledge to benefit those who connect with phez�ta (medicines) and give thanks for their bounty.

In the early mornings of summer I go with my grandmother to pray and visit some of her oldest friends.

"Grandmother, who will we get to visit with today?" I ask.

"Little one, we must listen quietly and see who decides to greet us this morning," she replies.

Grandmother's friends are the plants of her sacred garden. They are known as phez�ta, or medicines. They help her heal herself and others. Grandmother's understanding of these plants has been passed down from person to person for generations.

Grandmother and Granddaughter sing a special song to the plants. They say hello to Chaŋ�čaȟpehu (Stinging Nettle), to Čhaŋȟdóȟu (Broadleaf Plantain), to Čhaŋpȟ� (Chokecherry). Some of these plants are full of vitamins. Some help soothe stings and pains. Some make tasty and healing syrups. Together, Grandmother and Granddaughter offer Čhaŋs�sa (Tobacco) to honor each plant in their path.

Granddaughter cherishes these lessons and the gifts of phez�ta. She is grateful to her grandmother for sharing her wisdom. Perhaps one day she too will walk in this sacred land with her own granddaughter.

Through words and images, this tender story from educator and healer Tanaǧidaŋ To Wiŋ Tara Perron, illustrated with evocative ledger-style artwork by Holly Young, highlights the treasures of an abundant prairie landscape.
