This book will fascinate children expanding their horizons and learning about other cultures (or, in the case of Anishinaabe kids, their own). - Kirkus Reviews

Reminds readers of the importance of critical self-reflection and of our connection to the animal world — two ideas worth championing at any age. - Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW

The stylized masks, soft colours and big eyes of the children convey a seriousness, almost an otherworldliness, to the animal/human relationship. . . . Haunting and thought-provoking. - Toronto Star

The ideas inside unfurl outside the pages into readers’ own imaginative worlds. - Boston Globe

A stunning glimpse into the traditions of the Anishinaabe culture. . . . Highly recommended. - CM Magazine
