Dragonfly invites the reader to journey with her to visit the places in our lives that give rise to brilliant dreams for the future, from our bookshelf, where we picture the stories we will tell, to the blanket of moss, where we feel nurtured and peaceful.
In this moving picture book, Charlie’s Kohkom tells the story of recently receiving her first drum. Kohkom wasn’t raised Cree because she was taken from her family as a child as part of the Sixties Scoop. After hearing her story, Charlie offers to teach Kohkom a song—and they agree to go to the Friendship Center drum circle every week from now on.
