UP
Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Julie
Buchholtz about "Who Am I?" her children's book for Native
Americans
UP Notable Book Club: The Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 39th event is with author and educator Julie Buchholtz--a proud member of the Bay Mills Tribe of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized tribe comprised of Ojibwe people. Youth Services Book Review says: "Who Am I? is an affirmational picture book, promoting pride in one’s heritage and the importance of stewardship for the Earth... Libraries looking to expand offerings by native authors will want to add this book."
JULE BUCHHOLTZ lives in
Brimley, Michigan with her husband, Larry, and canine
companions. They are officially "empty nesters." Buchholtz
earned both her Bachelor's degree in Education and Master's in
Early Childhood Education from Central Michigan University.
Julie has been in education in some form or another for much of
her career. She currently works at Lake Superior State
University. In her free time, she enjoys walking the shores of
Lake Superior, making jewelry from items she finds along the
beach, reading, writing, eating a really good dessert (creme
brulee is her favorite), and practicing yoga.
"Who
am I?" wonders one little girl. And with those three words her
mama takes her on a journey, discovering the ways she is
connected to the plants and animals around her, her present and
her past, her ancestors, and the land she lives on--the whole of
Mother Earth. Who Am I is an indigenous perspective
on the ways the threads of our lives are woven in Earth's
tapestry, the things that came before--and all that is yet to
be. A lyrical look at the interconnectedness of life and a
mother's tender love. (From the publisher)""
