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. 

Medicine Wheel Publishing is committed to sharing diverse voices and perspectives, creating a platform for stories that celebrate Indigenous cultures and inspire understanding and respect among readers of all ages.

Ḵung Jaadee (Roberta Kennedy) is a professional Indigenous storyteller, educator (BA and BEd) and published author who has been telling stories for 30-plus years. She belongs to the X̱aayda (Haida), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Tlingit, səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and is also part Hawaiian. She was born and raised on Haida Gwaii and is from the Yaguu’laanaas Raven Clan. Her Haida name, Ḵung Jaadee, was presented to her at her great uncle’s memorial feast by her cousin, Crystal Robinson, and means “Moon Woman.” Her Aunt Leialoha gave her the name, Hi’ilawe, in reference to the most famous Hawaiian waterfall on the Big Island. She now resides with her family in East Vancouver on the unceded traditional territories of the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations.
