Our Book of the Month title for April is We Are Water Protectors. Written by Carole Lindstrom and illustrated by Michaela Goade, Indigenous author and illustrator. The book is timed purposefully for April, the month of Earth Day!
This Caldecott Medal winning picture book tells the story of the many Indigenous-led movements to protect water sources. The poetic story shares imagery of a snake representing oil pipelines and the activism of Indigenous peoples to push back against negative impacts on water resources. Children and adults can understand this authentic story about activism on behalf of nature and our environment. The detailed information in the back matter also shares important context about these efforts. The pledge in the back of the book is great for families to consider as we get closer to Earth Day and children consider what they can do for the environment.
Check out this title at the Reading Public Library and Whitelam Books!
