Review Quotes: "The author is Indigenous herself, and the heavier topics included, such as treaty rights and boarding schools, are treated with great respect and broken down in a way that young readers can understand. . . . Illustrating Indigenous excellence while also addressing hardships in an age-relevant way, this series is an excellent choice for school and public libraries." --School Library Journal
