From New York Times bestselling picture book author Carole
Lindstrom and illustrator Bridget George comes Autumn Peltier,
Water Warrior, an inspiring picture book biography about two
Indigenous Rights Activists, Josephine Mandamin and Autumn Peltier.
The seventh
generation is creating
A sea of change.
It was a soft
voice, at first.
Like a ripple.
But with practice
it grew louder.
Indigenous
women have long cared for the land and water, which in turn sustains
all life on Earth—honoring their ancestors and providing for
generations to come. Yet there was a time when their voices and
teachings were nearly drowned out, leaving entire communities and
environments in danger and without clean water.
But
then came Grandma Josephine and her great-niece, Autumn Peltier.
Featuring
a foreword from water advocate and Indigenous Rights Activist Autumn
Peltier herself, this stunning picture book from New York
Times-bestselling author Carole Lindstrom and illustrator Bridget
George gives voice to the water and asks young readers to join the
tidal wave of change.
