Remember the sky you were born under,
Know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn,
That is the strongest point of time.
So begins the picture book adaptation of the renowned poem that
encourages young readers to reflect on family, nature, and
their own heritage. In simple and direct language, Joy Harjo, a
former United States Poet Laureate and member of the Mvskoke
Nation, urges readers to pay close attention to who they are,
the world they were born into, and how all inhabitants on earth
are connected. Michaela Goade, drawing from her Tlingit
culture, has created vivid illustrations that make Harjo's
words
come alive in an engaging and accessible way.Book, 40
pages.
