A New York Times bestseller!
A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Book
This unique baby book sings with Native cultural detail, while striking
a universal chord in its celebration of the blossoming of love that
comes with expecting and welcoming a new baby--with art by New York
Times bestselling illustrator and Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade
As she waits for the arrival of her new baby, a mother-to-be gathers
gifts to create a sacred bundle. A white feather, cedar and sage, a
stone from the river . . .
Each addition to the bundle will offer the new baby strength and
connection to tradition, family, and community. As they grow together,
mother and baby will each have gifts to offer each other.
Tasha Spillett-Sumner and Michaela Goade, two Indigenous creators, bring
beautiful words and luminous art together in a resonant celebration of
the bond between mother and child.
