Review Quotes:
The Cedar Mother is the newest offering in Brett D. Huson's award-winning Mother of Xsan series, which now consists of eight beautifully illustrated books that share his Gitxsan culture, nature and knowledge. The story of The Cedar Mother emphasizes her "importance to the surrounding ecosystem....Her bark allowed the Gitxsan to create clothing; her trunk was used to build homes and craft tools; her roots became ropes; and her sapling made teas and medicines.
