“…and this I need to know.” With this refrain, readers are invited to learn and re-learn ancestral teachings about the little people in indigenous communities. With simple language and natural photographs, this book acknowledges culturally integral concepts that promote the sacredness of life, the building of positive self esteem, and the awareness of children’s rights to be safe, loved and respected. Readers and listeners of all ages will be reminded that every aspect of a child is sacred and valuable and that each of us must work to preserve and nurture their minds, bodies, spirits and hearts.
