What makes you feel connected? Whether it is with your family, the land, your heritage, or the guidance of your ancestors, you belong in connection with the world. Young readers will feel a deep sense of belonging when they hear from cherished authors at this cozy storytime. Adapting a poem by celebrated author Richard Wagamese, Anishinaabe artist Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley invokes the powerful wisdom of the ancestors in Canada: We Are the Story. A parent teaches a child their heritage language and celebrates their roots in My Language Is a Garden, written by E.G. Alaraj with illustrations by Rachel Wada. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Haida Gwaii, Haida author Kung Jaadee explores the relationships that connect us across time and space in I am Connected.
