When you are grateful to the land for the things it offers to share, the land is grateful and gracious in return. From Michaela Gode, Caldecott award winning author of We are Water Protectors, comes this lovely story of a girl and her grandmother and the earth they love and care for. This one's sure to get award nods of its own.
