Mama's Song

Julie Buchholtz or Ishpiming Migizi Kwe (High Flying Eagle Woman) calls home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She is a proud member of the Bay Mills Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Faryn Hughes is a freelance illustrator who specializes in ethereal watercolor and digitals works inspired by nature and animal wildlife.

Includes information on the teachings of the Seven Grandfathers, glossary, and a note on Anishinaabemowin. Audience: Ages 5-8.
