"Thank you for your presentation.  So well grounded, I think everyone was connected to it.  I really appreciated your closing question about ancestral knowledge for all children, such an important topic.

"I logged into the meeting today and am so glad I did. Leona Prince's words were so amazingly helpful and...so thought provoking! Thank you for the thoughtful invitation to continue with this group. We will continue with this new Inquiry and will also be keeping Leona's words in mind to revise our initial literacy inquiry to be more authentic."

- Stephanie

"In my time here, I have never heard our teachers so abuzz after a presentation. You really have taken them to a supported space for the next steps ahead. You truly are exceptional; your approach is gentle with truth, compassion, intelligence, and humor."

Be a Good Ancestor

 

“A beautiful call to action…A perfect read for teaching about empathy and demonstrating the ways we are all connected. Highly Recommended.”

– CM: Canadian Review of Materials

​

“So much to look at and discuss. In this short book the authors have helped readers begin to think about answers to the question: “How do you live now to help future generations?”…Will surely find a place in classrooms and libraries, especially as talk turns to Earth Day later this spring. Recommended.”

– School Library Connection

​

“A profound reminder, both in story and illustrations, of the beauty and potential that lies within each and every one of us.”

– Monique Gray Smith, award-winning author of My Heart Fills With Happiness

“A perfect read-aloud for introducing the importance of caring for the earth.”

– Booklist

​

“The message by authors Leona Prince and Gabrielle Prince to ‘be a good ancestor’ is a deceptively simple and poignant one…These wise words are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations…A book for readers of all ages.”

– Vancouver Writers Fest

​

“A stunning, holistic body of work (both text and art) which is grounded in the teachings of many Indigenous Nation's worldviews...Highly recommended for home, school and public libraries."

– Canadian Children's Book News
