Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

From New York Times bestselling author Carole Lindstrom comes Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior, an inspiring biography about two Indigenous Rights Activists, Josephine Mandamin and Autumn Peltier.

The seventh generation is creating
A sea of change.

It was a soft voice, at first.
Like a ripple.
But with practice it grew louder.

Indigenous women have always worked tirelessly to protect our water—keeping it pure and clean for the generations to come. Yet there was a time when their voices and teachings were nearly drowned out, leaving entire communities and environments in danger and without clean water.

But then came Grandma Josephine and her great-niece, Autumn Peltier.

Featuring a foreword from water advocate and Indigenous rights activist Autumn Peltier herself, this stunning audiobook from New York Times-bestselling author Carole Lindstrom gives voice to the water and asks young listeners to join the tidal wave of change.

A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.

Visiting our daughter for her 24th birthday, my wife and I give her a picture book read aloud marathon (Book 7 of 11).
