Caldecott Award-winning picture book, We Are Water Protectors
by Carole Lindstrom;
Illustrated by Michaela Goade

Water is the first medicine. It affects and connects us all. Water is sacred. Told from the perspective of a Native American child, this bold and lyrical picture book, written by Ojibwe/Métis author Carole Lindstrom and illustrated by Tlingit artist Michaela Goade, is a powerful call to action to defend Earth’s natural resources–inspired by the Dakota Access Pipeline protests and similar movements led by indigenous tribes across North America.

Sees Behind Trees by Michael Dorris

Dorris’s eloquent, beautifully crafted coming-of-age tale centers on Walnut, a near-sighted Native American boy whose uncanny ability to use his other senses earns him the adult name Sees Behind Trees. Set in the distant, pre-colonial past, the boy moves hesitantly into adulthood and gradually gains confidence in himself; learning humility and earning the respect of his tribe. This first-person narrative should connect strongly with a young audience, who will quickly learn that, no matter the century or the culture, the fundamentals of growing up remain very much the same.
