Review Quotes

"...sure to be a favorite for classroom read-alouds and is an excellent addition to classroom libraries hoping to amplify Indigenous voices... Frank's colorful watercolor illustrations featuring emotive animals and human characters are the perfect match for King's text, which moves deftly from one brief story to the next without any loss of coherence."

A CLCD Company

Skye, a girl living in an Indigenous community, draws a crowd with her stories, which were first told to her by her grandfather. Skye relays five stories, all focused on animals and all with a unique message and moral. The expressive faces of the animals and people add humor and charm to the soft watercolor illustrations. The book ends with a reminder of the connective power of stories, urging other children to become storytellers themselves.
