Genre: Realistic Fantasy Fiction
Age Recommendation: Grades 3-4
This is the first book in the Sarah Ponakey series. Sarah and her mom have moved to the city and Sarah is missing her Kohkom (grandmother) and her best friend, Eden. Sarah also misses being surrounded by nature and learning more about her Cree culture and traditions from her Kohkom. Sarah is not feeling comfortable yet at her new school and after a particularly difficult day, Sarah comes home and takes a nap. Sarah wakes up in a magical world where her crow stuffie is talking and walking along with other animals who introduce Sarah to the powwow tradition. This book is a Silver Birch Express 2025 nominee and introduces the reader to some Cree words and traditions. This would be a fun and easy read for students in grades 3-4 or strong grade 2 readers.
