Sarah Ponakey, storycatcher and Maskwa's tipi tales / by MacMillan, Sita.; Whitecalf, Azby.;
Sarah has spent the best summer visiting Kohkom and her best friend Eden in her home community, but it's almost time to return to the city and back to school. Eden has been acting odd and distant the past few days, and Sarah can't quite figure out why: when she finds a tipi surprise in Kohkom's backyard that Eden has been keeping a secret, Sarah figures that must be the reason! But as the girls prepare for one last sleepover of the summer, Sarah continues to feel butterflies growing in her tummy when she hears Eden speaking Cree. Eden knows so much more about the language and their culture than Sarah; could that be what's creating distance between them? As the night goes on, a magical visit from Maskwa reminds the girls that their differences and their culture is what makes their friendship so special.
