A warm, intergenerational picture book introducing the Lakota tradition of winter counts and celebrating resilience, remembrance, and connection across distance.

A moving story of love and tradition--perfect for kids discovering their role in their family and the power of remembering.

Gabriel's parents are leaving to serve, and he will stay with his grandmother, his unci. When Gabriel forgets to give his parents a parting gift, an important tradition in their Lakota family, he is bereft.

But then he learns about winter counts from Unci, and slowly but surely he both waits for his parents to return and becomes the keeper of the winter count in their family.

Andrea M. Page was an enrolled citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North and South Dakota. Andrea belonged to a large family, lived in upstate New York all her life, and was fortunate to travel often and experience different cultures. She wrote about untold stories and people who inspire, and she hoped that her work sparks commitment in others to make the world a better place. She was the author of Who Was Wilma Mankiller? and Sioux Code Talkers of World War II. She sadly didn't live to see the publication of this book, but she reviewed the final printer proofs. Andrea's memory is a blessing to all who knew her. www.writerandreapage.com
