Recensioner i media

★ “An Indigenous mother walks through the woods reciting an anthem of strength, power, and social change to her unborn child. The lyrical text is reinforced by illustrations in richly hued colors. The empowering narrative and stunning artwork combine for a lovely tribute to a future child. . . . This is a recommended first purchase.” —School Library Journal, starred review
