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 i/s 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) "An amazing story set within the beauty of the Native American world. The words, the emotions are heart deep, and the illustrations will take your breath with their beauty. I wish this book would have been around when our children were small. I have and will be buying it for others--a great gift for little ones and their parents and grandparents!" -- Sue Harrison, national bestselling author of /The Midwife's Touch/ "This is a wonderful addition to anyone's life.
