*"A brilliant combination of story, culture, and activism in the cause of protecting the environment. Highly recommended for all collections." --School Library Journal, starred review

"[A] call-to-action picture book biography celebrating the legacies of Indigenous Rights Activists Josephine Henrietta Mandamin and Autumn Peltier. The text ripples with the refrain "Speak for the water. Sing for the water. Dance for the water," while soothing shades of blue, curving lines and woodland floral designs reflect the Anishinaabe's delicate connection with nature." --BCCB, starred review

"George's rich, cartoon images reverently depict Autumn's growth as an organizer under her ancestors' guidance, honoring their intergenerational struggles. Lindstrom's latest is a moving tribute to Native women and their crucial leadership in Indigenous and water rights." --Kirkus Reviews
