BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A young mother prepares a special collection of medicines, sews a beautiful quilt, even a special stone for her soon to be born baby. She presents them to the baby and explains what everything in the bundle means and how important that child is to everyone.
Based upon sacred Inniniwak traditions, this is a beautiful story about waiting for and loving a new baby, and recognizing that baby has gifts, too. Both the author and illustrator are indigenous. So beautifully illustrated, and such a great look into the culture. A wonderful book for anyone, and would even make a nice baby gift.
