Critics Review
A 2026 Jane Addams Children’s Book Award Finalist
An NCSS-CBC 2026 Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Selection
“McKnight (Shoshone-Bannock) captures the emotional depth of each page in her rich, realistic watercolor scenes, while Rose’s earnestly penned narrative is touching, capturing a precious day filled with uncertainty and fear as well as familial love and Indigenous pride … A beautiful blend of community action and the bond between an elder and grandchild.” —Kirkus
“Indigenous and Asian author Rose melds a child’s journey with extended information on the Sacred Stone Camp and Water Protectors. Luminescent graphite and watercolor illustrations from McKnight, an enrolled member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, trace the journey in vivid greens and blues.” —Publishers Weekly
