Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade's debut self - authored picture book is a beautiful homage to the land she's familiar with and the profound wisdom of elders. On an island by the vast, untamed sea, a girl and her grandmother collect nature's gifts. They catch salmon from the stream, gather herring eggs from the ocean, and discover a variety of berries in the forest like Salmonberry, Cloudberry, Blueberry, and more. Throughout the seasons, they sing to the land and the land sings back. Filled with joy and gratitude, their journey strengthens their bond with the earth and past generations, inviting readers to deepen their own connection with nature. Suitable for ages 4 - 8, this 40 - page book features Michaela Goade's glowing depictions of water, forest, berries, and jams, reflecting her love for the land.
This picture book is perfect for reading aloud to kids aged 4 - 8. You can sit down with your child, open the book, and slowly turn the pages, describing the beautiful illustrations and reading the text. While reading, encourage your child to talk about what they see in the pictures. There aren't any special handling requirements, but to keep the book in good condition, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't let it get wet or bend the pages too much. When not in use, you can put it on a bookshelf or in a bookcase.
