Young and old alike will cheer and sing along with this heartfelt
picture book about pet adoption based on a new song by Academy
Award-winning singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. In this tender
and moving picture book, a puppy is looking for someone to love
him. Will the girl who rescues him convince her parents to let her
keep the little dog? Buffy Sainte-Marie advocates "putting the
songs to work" and, like her other lyrics, Hey Little Rockabye
conveys an important message about finding love and acceptance.
Brought to life in charming illustrations by Ben Hodson, Hey Little
Rockabye shares a not-yet-released song with the world for the
first time. With the release of the first-ever recording to
coincide with the publication of the book, Hey Little Rockabye can
now be read-or sung-by old and young alike for years to come.
"Beautiful, poignant and poetic. This story will weave its way into
the hearts and minds of readers for generations." —Monique Gray

Indigenous icon Buffy Sainte-Marie comes a chapter book inspired by
oral histories and traditions. On a prairie reserve, Tâpwê
receives a mysterious gift from Kokhom (grandma)—and finds
himself on an unforgettable adventure. Tâpwê can’t wait
to spend a week with his cousins on the other side of the Cree
reserve—especially since Kokhom, his grandma, has given him the
most amazing gift: a Magic Hat with bluebirds and grass snakes that
come to life! Tâpwê is so excited that he soon forgets Kokhom’s
advice: Watch out for tricksters! Tâpwê’s adventure is
everything he imagined. He meets his cousins, takes part in a
powwow, and sleeps in a tipi. But soon he’s reminded of
Kokhom’s words. Is his new friend Wâpos leading him astray with
mischief? Tâpwê and the Magic Hat draws on a rich Indigenous
tradition of storytelling and features: A memorable cast of
characters from both imagination and legend. A glossary and
pronunciation guide of Cree words used in the book. A note
to parents and teachers from Buffy Sainte-Marie about trickster
stories. An important message for young readers about being
yourself, and learning to dance to the beat of your own heart.
Features black and white illustrations throughout.
