A young girl and her mother move from the city to a small house out in the country, near an elderly woman named Agnes. Over the course of a year, the young girl helps her neighbor, shares some of her Cree traditions and learns about art and clay from Agnes. 

Flett is a great storyteller using minimal text and beautiful pastel illustrations. I love her illustrations! She brings this simple story of an intergenerational friendship to life in such a sweet way.
