SuitabookWe Are Water Protectors
Carole Lindstrom, Michaela Goade
- Reading
- Read it together, pausing to notice how the words and illustrations present water, threat and collective responsibility. Afterwards, invite the reader to connect the story’s values with caring actions.
- Themes
- Protecting water: A young water protector takes a stand when a black snake threatens the Earth and her people’s water; water is presented as sacred and connecting. The book clearly affirms safeguarding water and frames protective action as important, while connecting that responsibility with Indigenous-led movements and spiritual meaning.
- Worth knowing
- The threatening imagery and urgent language may merit a little preparation, especially for a sensitive reader. The book’s ending and the extent of any danger are not clear.
