A5 I was moved by Chief Charles’ wisdom, who was the inspiration to write this book “Look underground and all those trees are holding hands. We as people must do the same.” Very Powerful. #shelfietalk

A4 The story emphasizes being in touch with our environment and having the ability to see things from another’s perspective including nature. Through a strong connection to our land, it will sustain itself with no compromise to future generations. #shelfietalk

A3 " When we walk together in a good way, we remember Mawikwayk. Together we are strong. When we take care of the Land and Water, the Land and Water take care of us." I hope we are not too late to learn this. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A8 Thank you Kobi and Elise, you have helped me understand the little things in a new way and how important perseverance is. You have encouraged each of us to pause and take in the beauty of our world and the people around us. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A7: If you loved Noticing may I recommend Trying. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A6: As educators, we are the artist in this story teaching young minds. Perhaps we can teach our students to see things with fresh eyes and a new perspective and notice our surroundings with as much optimism as possible. #shelfietalk
