But then came Anishinaabe elder Grandma Josephine and her great niece, Autumn Peltier. Featuring a foreword from water advocate and Indigenous Rights Activist Autumn Peltier herself, this picture book from Carole Lindstrom gives voice to the water and asks young readers to join the tidal wave of change.
