A young girl asks her mother "Who am I?" Her mother explains their family's background and ties to nature and the world. The author is a member of the Bay Mills Tribe of the Chippewa Indians and embraces her ancestor's beliefs and love of the land.
Who Am I? is a remarkable, poetic picture book with warmth and gentleness. The illustrations by Aliya Ghare are beautiful and explode off the pages.
Ages 5 and up. A lovely book to share!
