Critical Reviews

Reviewed by Joe Walters, Independent Book Review


Stellar! A Native Nations creation myth told with poetic language, magical illustrations, and love passed down.


Not often do I encounter kids' books quite as beautiful as this one. I don't want to exaggerate; don't want to overdo it, make you think I'm being untrue for the sake of hyperbole. I just really want you and your kids to read this book.
