*"In this tribute to Native resilience, Indigenous
author-and-illustrator team Lindstrom and Goade invite readers to
stand up for environmental justice. An inspiring call to action for
all who care about our interconnected planet."--Kirkus Reviews,
starred review *"Goade's watercolor illustrations fill the spreads
with streaming ribbons of water, cosmic backdrops, and lush natural
landscapes.... Lindstrom's spare, poetic text flows with the
"river's rhythm." Written in response to the construction of the
Dakota Access Pipeline, famously protested by the Standing Rock
Sioux Tribe--and others--these pages carry grief, but it is
overshadowed by hope in what is an unapologetic call to action."
