We are Water Protectors (2021)

Inspired by Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors is a bold and lyrical call to defend the Earth's most sacred resource. Written by Carole Lindstrom and illustrated with sweeping beauty by Michaela Goade, the story centers on a young girl who stands up to a looming black snake threatening her people's water.

Rooted in the belief that water is the first medicine and connects us all, this powerful picture book blends urgent activism with hope, honoring the strength of community and the responsibility to protect what sustains life.
