A beautiful homage to friendship growing over seasons. Of making someone's fading seasons be beautiful. Frankly, of finding beauty in the newness of a move and everything! I wish there was more Cree influence (considering the author's background). Still, I enjoyed this book a great deal!

Beautiful, tender, slow moving book. Cree representation casually and authentically weaved into the story.
Would be best in one-on-one reading or reading with elementary aged children.

Lovely and open-ended. I can see this prompting discussion with a child who is experiencing the failing health of a beloved elder.
