Who Am I?
"Who am I?" a young girl asks her mom as she snuggles close. "You are the fire that burns and the eagle that soars. You are the oak tree and the wild rose," says momma. Written from an Indigenous perspective, Who Am I? tells the story of how we are all connected to our ancestors, our past and future, and the Earth—and how it is everyone's duty to fend off darkness, connect to the past, offer safety and shelter, and color the world with beauty.
