It was okay, but the execution wasn't what I expected. I found it plain.

Note: a worthy winner of the Caldecott!

Gorgeous, lush illustrations are the unequivocal star of this book. I wish the author would have told the Anishinaabe prophecy from the beginning (it has a wonderful note in the back) and then perhaps also included our role as protectors and activists. As it was, it was a little abstract. However, I think this book would probably be very well enjoyed with some context—perhaps in a series of books on our role as stewards of the earth or in a series of Indigenous stories and culture. I just don't think it works very well as a stand-alone book.

A book about Ojibwe culture and their fight to protect water and nature. Ojibwe women are currently fighting against the black snake (an analogy for the Dakota Access Pipeline) and encourage others to fight as well.
