The first Caldecott Medal awarded to two Native Americans, We Are Water Protectors is a stunning visual treat, written by Carole Lindstrom (Anishinaabe/Metis) and illustrated by Michaela Goade (Tlingit). Drawing heavily on traditional beliefs and visuals, this stresses the importance of our natural resources and depicts the stand one young water warrior takes against the Black Snake that threatens to poison the earth's bounty. Published in 2020, this is already in scarce supply in first edition and among the most beautiful recent Caldecott winners. A Very Fine copy in a like dust jacket.
