Please join Milkweed Editions for a hopeful and inspiring event celebrating the power of books in our lives, our communities, and the world: our annual Book Lovers Ball. This year, it's virtual! In the past, we have hosted this community-building fundraiser in our hometown of Minneapolis, but this year, you can attend from the comfort of your home. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this year the event is free to attend! Beloved author Robin Wall Kimmerer will be joining us at the big event from her home in upstate New York as we celebrate the legacy of her New York Times bestseller, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants. She will be joined by other Milkweed authors from across the country who will share stories with us as well as sneak peeks at what they are working on now. Other special guests to be revealed between now and the event—register today to be the first to get updates about the full lineup.
