The First Blade of Sweetgrass : a first nations story / Suzanne Greenlaw, Gabriel Frey, Nancy Baker.

Greenlaw, Suzanne, (author.). Frey, Gabriel, (author.). Baker, Nancy, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"In this Own Voices Native American picture book, a modern Wabanaki girl is excited to accompany her grandmother for the first time to harvest sweetgrass for basket making. She must overcome her impatience while learning to distinguish sweetgrass from other salt marsh grasses, but slowly the spirit and peace of her surroundings speak to her, and she gathers sweetgrass as her ancestors have done for centuries, leaving the first blade she sees to grow for future generations. This sweet, authentic story from a Maliseet mother and her Passamaquoddy husband includes backmatter about First Nations basket making and a Wabanaki glossary"-- Provided by publisher.
