This innovative picture book introduces readers to the concept of Etuaptmumk — or Two-Eyed Seeing, the gift of multiple perspectives in the Mi'kmaw language — as we follow a group of young children connecting to nature as their teacher.

A poetic, joyful celebration of the Lands and Waters as spring unfolds: we watch for Robin's return, listen for Frog's croaking, and wonder at maple tree's gift of sap. Grounded in Etuaptmumk, also known as Two-Eyed Seeing — which braids together the strengths of Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing — and the Mi'kmaq concept of Netukulimk — meaning to protect Mother Earth for the ancestors, present, and future generations — Walking Together nurtures respectful, reciprocal, responsible relationships with the Land and Water, plant-life, animals and other-than-human beings for the benefit of all.
