A girl named Katherena, her mother, and their dog move to their new home in a peaceful, bucolic setting. Katherena befriends their elderly neighbor Agnes, and season by season, they continue sharing their passion for flora, fauna, and art. Cree-Métis author/illustrator Flett's smooth and lyrical words and gorgeous digitally composed pastel and pencil images truly capture the warmth and solidarity of the female protagonists in this tender intergenerational friendship story. Glos.
