My 8-year-old daughter is often fussy with books and sometimes loses interest, but this book was different. We have been reading the chapters before bedtime and she always looks forward to it. She is quite fascinated by this story about a young girl's experience of her family's pasa (potlatch) ceremony, and she listens intently. She also enjoys the unique illustrations which are colourful and lively and also have a photographic quality. I think this is an ideal book for children because it is told in the words and the mind of a child. My two older children, 16 and 14, also enjoy learning about the vivid tradition of the Kwakwaka'wakw people. This book has inspired our family to look more deeply into our own traditions.
