Through vivid descriptions and clear photographs, this guide introduces young readers to the many kinds of plants that call the prairie home. It explains how people use these plants for food, medicine, and materials, while also showing why development and changing climate put them at risk. The book highlights the work of scientists and communities who are taking steps to preserve prairie habitats for future generations. Written for lower-grade readers, it offers a balanced look at both the challenges facing prairie flora and the efforts underway to protect them.
