"The book I'd like to recommend is Islands of Decolonial Love by Leanne Betaskamosake Simpson. Each and every story in this collection stirred something deep within me. There is a nuance in Leanne's writing that reminds of sitting by the sea. There is calmness and peace and then out of nowhere that is all disrupted and the waves come crashing in, bringing with them all kinds of debris. Depending on the story, Leanne's words are either like a healing salve gathered and prepared by a loving Auntie or like ocean water slowly dropped on an open wound. Each waking me up to something I hadn't yet been paying attention to. This is only one of my favourite books by this gifted and humble writer and I look forward to introducing my children to her work."
