Illustrated by Michaela Goade
5 stars
A truly beautiful book. This picture book adaptation of Joy Harjo’s poem, “Remember”, adds stunning illustrations to a powerful piece that highlights the interconnectedness of the natural world. Goade’s artwork is absolutely stunning. Wonderful use of color and imagery. Each page is a treat.
The book wonderfully depicts themes of unity with the natural world and the connection between generations.
At the back is an Author’s Note, which discusses the power of poetry, and an Artist’s Note, which details some of the inspiration for the illustrations such as Tlingit creation stories, formline design, and Tlingit dances and regalia including Herring Robes from the Kiks.ádi clan.
A visual treat and powerful words to feed the soul.
