“Speak for the water. Sing for the water. Dance for the water.”
Thus speaks the water in Carole Lindstrom’s most recent picture book, Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior. (Lindstrom, 2023). In this picturebook, water warriors Autumn Peltier and Grandmother Josephine speak, sing, and dance for water. In turn, the water gives life to all who care for it. This presentation of water as both life-giving and needing care calls upon us to consider our relationships and stories related to water. How do we speak, sing, and dance for water in our classrooms and our teaching?
