Illustrations expand the understanding of the 9 short stories and poems presented here. With 8 different illustrators, there is a wide variety of styles; I'll admit my favorite illustrator was Elizabeth LaPensee. The stories mostly depict modern experience of Native Americans, and can be pretty raw (e.g. "Trickster Reflections") but also use humor ("Ice Tricksters") or a twist on familiar memes ("Werewolves on the Moon", "An Athabasca Story"). Despite the inherent sadness in "Mermaids", there is also a teaching and a commitment to responsibility/connection. I'm guessing this is a book written and illustrated by Indigenous for themselves and their own community; there is little of explanatory information to help white readers understand some of the subtext or cultural references (especially "Just Another Naming Ceremony"). I'm not stating that as a lack, just saying that some readers might need to put a little more effort into a full appreciation. ( )
