Authored and illustrated by Nikki Scioscia, Sentient Sidewalk: Lessons From New York City’s Wild Medicinal Plants follows her discovery of medicinal plants and personal growth after moving to Brooklyn. Both a story and a field guide, this art book illustrates the multicultural, medicinal, and mystical attributes of nine plants (and fungi) that thrive in New York City: mugwort, reishi, datura, pokeweed, ginkgo, hawthorn, violet, clover, and dandelion.
With lush black ink illustrations that educate and inspire, Sentient Sidewalk is intended for readers who strive to connect with plants — and their own resilience — wherever they live. Sentient Sidewalk has earned recognition from American Illustration 42 and 3x3 Annual 20, and it can be found in the permanent library collection of the New York Botanical Garden.
