(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karlene Harvey. As Serenity, an Anishinaabe girl, follows her brother Big Ed to the river to fish, she connects with the medicine and spirits of nature, including the hawks who are their protectors. When Big Ed gets into a pinch while fishing, Serenity rescues him with a red-tailed hawk’s help. Waboose’s (Nishnawbe Ojibway) ecologically conscious text skillfully balances moments of suspense and lightheartedness and reflects the dynamics of a healthy sibling relationship. Harvey’s (Tsilhqot'in/Syilx) full-color digital illustrations capture the moods and personalities of the characters.
