Who Am I?

Sleeping Bear Press

“Who am I?” wonders one little girl. And with those three words her mama takes her on a journey, discovering the ways she is connected to the plants and animals around her, her present and past, her ancestors, and the land she lives on—the whole of Mother Earth. Who Am I is an Indigenous perspective on the ways the threads of our lives are woven in with Earth’s tapestry, the things that came before—and all that is yet to be. A lyrical look at the interconnectedness of life and a mother’s tender love.
