I Am Connected
A beautifully illustrated story about the spiritual connection we have with one another and the natural world around us.
We are all connected. Whether it is with your family, the mossy earth beneath your feet, the warm guidance of your ancestors, you belong in connection with all around you.
Along the backdrop of Haida Gwaii’s breathtaking landscapes, Indigenous storyteller Ḵung Jaadee invites you to witness the many threads of relationship that connect us across time and space.
What makes you feel connected?
With a gentle introduction to self-soothing practices, this book engages children through questions to reflect on their connection to the world around them. Grounded in Indigenous cultural teachings, the story touches on traditions including creating a spirit plate. Carla Joseph’s radiant artwork captures the life and spirit of all living things with remarkable detail.
