Gr 1-2–Goldeneagle shares her passion for artwork by sharing various sceneries where there are everyday hidden treasures. These are placed magnificently by Mother Nature; the main character tries to imitate its wonder in her paintings. The abundant natural living treasures of Mother Earth are vividly illustrated, laced with Cree custom designs. From heart-shaped rocks found by following bird tracks to the frozen fishy imagery in the ice, Pichette’s illustrations encapsulate the surrounding stunning beauty of what the world has to offer.
VERDICT The beautiful, smooth illustrations accompany this simple yet stunning story that encourages readers’ curiosity to find the beauty in the natural world.
