Calm and gentle bilingual text, in Plains Cree and English, serves as a soothing lullaby for the baby in this narrator’s arms and as a tribute to the land and natural world around them: “This land is a lullaby your heart already knows. / You carry the song from a lifetime ago.” Gorgeous-hued, landscape-sweeping, textured illustrations depict the flora and fauna, spirits and ancestors using swaths of color and pointillist techniques.
