English

By (author): Hetxwms Gyetxw Brett D. Huson Huson

Illustrated by: Natasha Donovan

To the Gitxsan of Northwestern British Columbia, Nox Ganaaw is a storyteller, speaking truths of the universe. After Nox Ganaaw, the frog mother, releases her eggs among the aquatic plants of a pond, the tiny tadpoles are left to fend for themselves. As they hatch, grow legs, and transform into their adult selves, they must avoid the mouths of hungry predators. Will the young frogs survive to spawn their own eggs, continuing a cycle 200 million years in the making?

Book four of the Mothers of Xsan series follows the life cycle of the columbia spotted frog. Learn about why this species is of special significance to the Gitxsan and how Nox Ga'naaw and her offspring are essential to the balance that is life.
