Kids Book Club: We Are Water Protectors (April 2025)
Kid's Book Club meets at The Center every fourth Sunday of the month from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
The program includes a book, a gallery tour, and an art-making project.
April's Book is: We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom
We have switched April's book from Christo and Jeanne Claude Wrap the World because we will have the special opportunity to introduce our guests to the Seneca artist Carson Waterman and Storyteller Leeora White. Attendees will listen to the reading of this book and the meet the artist and listen to Leeora in the galleries.
About the Book
From author Carole Lindstrom and illustrator Michaela Goade comes a New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Medal-winning picture book that honors Indigenous-led movements across the world. Powerfully written and gorgeously illustrated, We Are Water Protectors, issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth’s water from harm and corruption―inviting young readers everywhere to join the fight.
Water is the first medicine.
It affects and connects us all . . .
When a black snake threatens to destroy the Earth
And poison her people’s water, one young water protector
Takes a stand to defend Earth’s most sacred resource.
The fight continues with Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior, the must-read companion book to We Are Water Protectors. Written by Carole Lindstrom and illustrated by Bridget George, it tells the story of real-life water protectors, Autumn Peltier and her great-aunt Josephine Mandamin, two Indigenous Rights Activists who have inspired a tidal wave of change.
