Two ancient tribes. Two precious children. One wicked foster mother who really is a witch. A desperate escape. An evil spell. Three transformations. A kind and generous warrior. A powerful medicine woman. An insightful course of action… A timeless tale of injustice and redemption, spun together from the sentiments of a famous German folk tale, an ancient indigenous legend, and some not so ancient misguided historical events. A medley of age-old tales in a contemporary setting, told with a few ounces of suspense, a pinch of magic, a little humour, a big word or two for good measure, and a few contentious issues, finely ground. An artful book for all ages that is designed to inspire conversation. In the Coast Salish Halq'emeylem language of the Sto:lo people of British Columbia. Glossary and teacher's guide included.
