beach, reading, writing, eating a really good dessert (creme brulee is
her favorite), and practicing yoga.

am I?" wonders one little girl. And with those three words her mama
takes her on a journey, discovering the ways she is connected to the
plants and animals around her, her present and her past, her ancestors,
and the land she lives on--the whole of Mother Earth. /Who Am I i/s an
indigenous perspective on the ways the threads of our lives are woven in
Earth's tapestry, the things that came before--and all that is yet to
be. A lyrical look at the interconnectedness of life  and a mother's
tender love. (From the publisher)

"An amazing story set within the beauty of the Native American world.
The words, the emotions are heart deep, and the illustrations will take
your breath with their beauty. I wish this book would have been around
when our children were small. I have and will be buying it for others--a
great gift for little ones and their parents and grandparents!"
-- Sue Harrison, national bestselling author of /The Midwife's Touch/

"This is a wonderful addition to anyone's life. The author beautifully
draws out the story of identity and belonging. I highly recommend this
book as a librarian and as a parent."
-- Wisconsin's Water Library

"Absolutely love this book!! A perfect addition to everyone's youth library"
-- Julie Ann Weist, outdoor enthusiast and ACA Certified Kayak Instructor
