Review Quotes:
Katherena Vermette's The Seven Teachings Stories series is a collection of books that holds all the qualities children's literature can have; her tales are educational, joyous, vivid, and have an irresistible cadence. But the stories have something more. Rich in culture and traditional knowledge, Katherena's series addresses important topics--such as the residential school system--with the very teachings the series embodies: love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, and truth.
