by Julie Flett are a bittersweet but hopeful book about an intergenerational friendship and the passage of time. Young Katherena is sad to move away from her home by sea to a new house, far away in the countryside. But, she finds a new friend in Agnes, the older lady who lives next door and has a passion for working with clay, just as Katherena has a talent for drawing. As the season's pass, Agnes is no longer able to go outside, but Katherena uses her art to bring birds, and the outdoors, inside for Agnes to enjoy. Flett, a Cree-Métis author, and illustrator combines a moving story with breathtaking artwork.
