On an island at the edge of a wide, wild sea, a girl and her grandmother gather gifts from the earth. Like their Tlingit ancestors before them, they harvest salmon from the stream, herring eggs from the ocean, and in the forest, a world of berries.

Salmonberry, Cloudberry, Blueberry, Nagoonberry, Huckleberry, Soapberry, Strawberry, Crowberry.

Through the seasons, they sing to the land as the land sings to them. Brimming with joy and gratitude, with every step of their journey, they forge a deeper kinship with both the earth and the generations that came before, joining in the song that connects us all.

Here is Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade's resonant celebration of the land she knows well and the powerful wisdom of elders.
