Description
A joyful exploration of a child's loving relationship with the land that supports and nurtures her as she grows
You Are the Land is a vivid ode to belonging within a family, within a community, and within the natural world.
From the day she's born, a child feels the love and power that come with being part of something bigger. She's a new spring leaf, alive and growing, as strong as the ancient cedars and as radiant as the glittering night sky. She is one with the amazing forces of nature that surround and nurture her, and that she nurtures in return.
Through inspiring words and sweeping illustrations, renowned artist Steph Littlebird's stunning debut celebrates our connection to the land and shows how we perfectly mirror its beauty and resilience.
