About this listen
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, renowned artist Steph Littlebird’s stunning debut celebrates our connection to the land and shows how we perfectly mirror its beauty and resilience.
Critic reviews
“Drawing from tribal traditions and nature-focused metaphor, an indigenous child narrates her relationships with different family members, who each remind her of an aspect of the natural world. . . . The child is rooted in her community through her developing relationship with the land around her. The child secures her role as a respectful and responsible ‘place keeper’ in scenes of tribal powwow and community environmental activism as her ‘culture teaches . . . I am the land, and the land is me.’ Littlebird offers a resilient and resounding ode to the family who raises us and the world that sustains us. The poetic prose flows through the book, carried on the wings of detailed full-page spreads depicting sweeping natural vistas, which often flow directly from characters’ mouths as they share their wisdom. Calligraphic hand-drawn lines visually anchor scenes while the digital coloring provides weathered vibrancy over a parchment-like background; intimate insets focus on the human heart of each relationship.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
