Gr 1-5–An imaginative and touching story of the ways in which animals have inspired human behavior and society. Using Lakota pronunciations and vocabulary, the book guides readers through creative illustrations linking humans and nature. Animals and insects are used to teach valuable lessons about trust, change, and kindness: “Turtle is the guardian spirit who teaches us to give comfort to others.” The illustrator uses emotionally potent scenes that perfectly capture the culture of the Lakotas. Simple, elegant sentence structures are easy to follow, even for emergent readers.
VERDICT By inviting children to understand the teachings of animal brothers and sisters, this book works for units on nature, animals, and Indigenous culture, and is a compelling work for all collections.
