As daylight fades to dusk and slips into darkness, this gentle lullaby celebrates the sounds of the Prairies and Plains on a stormy summer's night.
From the hum of dragonflies to the drumming of thunder, with grasses swirling and the Northern Lights glimmering, This Land Is a Lullaby / cistomâwasowin ôma askiy shares a song and dance--a gift from the ancestors that soothes children to sleep and reminds them of their deeply rooted connections to the land.
Written as a lullaby for the author's daughter and featuring striking pointillism artwork, this lush lullaby of the land honors the beauty of the Prairies and Plains and the spiritual connection between Indigenous children, ancestors and their Traditional Territories.
This bilingual book includes full text in both English and Plains Cree.
