Overview
ā Starred selection for CCBC's Best Books for Kids & Teens 2023!
Rocky Cree people understand that all children are born with four gifts or talents. When a child is old enough, they decide which gift, or mīthikowisiwin, they will seek to master. With her sapotawan ceremony fast approaching, AmŠmust choose her mīthikowisiwin. Her sister, Pīsim, became a midwife; others gather medicines or harvest fish. But none of those feel quite right.
AmÅ has always loved making things. Her uncle can show her how to make nipisiwata, willow baskets. Her grandmother can teach herĀ how to make kwakwÄywata, birchbark containers and plates. HerĀ auntie has offered to begin AmÅās apprenticeship in making askihkwak, pottery.
What will AmÅās mÄ«thikowisiwin be? Which skill shouldĀ she choose? And how will she know what is right for her?
