GENERAL'S AWARD AN AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH LITERATURE HONOR TITLE A
BOSTON GLOBE--HORN BOOK HONOR BOOK When Katherena and her mother
move to a small town, Katherena feels lonely and out of place. But
when she meets an elderly woman artist who lives next door, named
Agnes--her world starts to change. Katherena and Agnes share the
same passions for arts and crafts, birds, and nature. But as the
seasons change, can Katherna navigate the failing health of her new
friend? Award-winning author and artist Julie Flett's textured
images of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes bring vibrancy and
warmth to this powerful story, which highlights the fulfillment of
intergenerational relationships, shared passions, and spending time
outdoors with the ones we love. Includes a glossary and
pronunciation guide to Cree words that appear in the text.
"Cree-Metis author/illustrator Julie Flett's smooth and lyrical
words and gorgeous... images truly capture the warmth and
solidarity of the female protagonists in this tender
intergenerational friendship story."-The Horn Book "Cycling from
spring to spring, [Julie Flett's] subtle, sensitive story
delicately traces filaments of growth and loss through
intergenerational friendship, art making, and changing moons and
seasons." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
