We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom

emotional inspiring medium-paced

5.0

This Caldecott-winning book made history, and rightly so. Goade's illustrations are gorgeously detailed with bold, saturated colors. The swirling, flowing lines make most of the pictures feel water-like. Since that the oil pipeline protests aren't on the forefront of most people's minds anymore, it's a little harder to provide context during story time, but that's on me for not looking up the current situation. I think that the black snake metaphor still led to a similar understanding of the dangers.
