I love this book! This is a generous, glittering collection of entertaining, multifaceted and deep tales and related fun, relevant science activities for children that instruct listeners of all ages how to care for our shared planet for the next generation. An excellent book of a great series.

There are tons of ideas for families and educators in this book, with a focus on environmental stewardship. I am always cautious about "educational" materials about indigenous communities and, as a white person, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling these stories to children myself. However, the volume itself is thoughtfully (and exhaustively) collected by an indigenous author and the lessons and activities provided are truly stellar.
