Description

From the award-winning and bestselling author of We Are Water Protectors, Carole Lindstrom, Anishinaabe/Métis and an enrolled citizen of of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe, comes an empowering picture book about family history, self-expression, and reclaiming your identity. Illustrated by Steph Littlebird, from Oregon’s Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.

Our ancestors say our hair is our memories,
our source of strength and power,
a celebration of our lives.

Mom never had long hair—she was told it was too wild. Grandma couldn’t have long hair—hers was taken from her. But one young girl can’t wait to grow her hair long: for herself, for her family, for her connection to her culture and the Earth, and to honor the strength and resilience of those who came before her. Full-color illustrations throughout.
