Simple, beautiful, artful, intricate, this book’s Dakota text and delightful premise will make it the book child reaches for at bedtime. I always try to find books that will not drive an adult crazy when read hundreds of times to a child. This one passes test! Because the illustrations also tell a story, it be examined and puzzled out by parent and child together. Each picture gives a cultural teaching. The repetition of the language is important, but most all, the book gives the sense of all encompassing kindness. A book of comfort and wisdom. — Review by Louise Erdrich
