Three Shells for Nikki
This book teaches herbalism and history, and invites intergenerational activities of story telling and making remedies.
Summary:
When Nikki arrives at Granda's house in the country for summer break, she's not sure what to expect. At first, Grandma seems a bit odd with her house full of remedies - piles of jars filled with old dried up leaves and twigs.
Soon Nikki joins Grandma on the red dirt path, delivering remedies to the neighbors. Along the way she meets little Ava who needs a remedy for her cough.
Nikki tries to help but her confidence plummets when she makes a terrible mistake that could have hurt Ava badly. With a horrific storm brewing, Ava is sicker than ever and Nikki is the only one who can help - but firs, she must face her fears.
Join Nikki as she searches for Ava's remedy in the jagged darkness of the forest, where she discovers a surprising gift and connection to her past.
