Have you ever considered Mother Earth to be an artist? A shiny rock, the guiding tracks of a bird, a colourful sunset - what beauty do you see on Mother Earth?
Award-winning Indigenous author, CBC journalist, and Poet Laureate of Saskatchewan (2021-2023) Carol Rose GoldenEagle brings readers a radiant tribute to the artwork within the everyday.
Paired with stunning illustrations by Hawlii Pichette, Mother Earth: My Favourite Artist encourages us to share in the simple wonder of nature, and honour the precious magnificence of Mother Earth and all of our relatives. (From Medicine Wheel Pubishing)
