"A duo lost in the woods find their way home by recalling an elder’s teachings in this understated offering from Cree/Dene author GoldenEagle and Cree artist Marie. When two Cree cousins wander out to play in the bush, they are so busy chasing squirrels and building stick forts that they neglect Kohkum’s advice not to wander too far. Hungry and encountering a thickly wooded place, the narrator recalls Mooshum’s lesson about how to find their way back: “If ever lost, look for moss.” Orienting to head north of the Mahtawi-sipiy, the cousins follow the moss-dappled trees’ “natural compass” home to Kohkum, Mooshum, and a dinner of moose stew. A peaceful, limited color palette of blues, browns, and greens aptly extends across characters and scenes, underlining themes of connection with the natural world. This spare narrative focuses on a rich ancestry of passed-down teachings." – Publishers Weekly
