N2  - Awarded the American Indian Library Associations Youth Literature Award, this picture book takes readers through young Katharena’s first year in a new house, where she forges an intergenerational friendship and finds inspiration for her artwork. (Miller Library Staff); When a young girl moves from the country to a small town, she feels lonely and out of place. But soon she meets an elderly woman next door, who shares her love of nature and art. As the seasons change, can the girl navigate the failing health of her new friend? Acclaimed author and artist Julie Flett's textured images of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes bring vibrancy and warmth to this powerful story, which highlights the fulfillment of intergenerational relationships and shared passions. A brief glossary and pronunciation guide to Cree-Métis words that appear in the text is provided on the copyright page
