Minnow cover

A young Indigenous water protector named Minnow goes on an underwater journey, learning from our ocean-living relatives. When she returns to the surface, she gathers her community to help make a change. 
This story is told in lyrical rhyme and helps children gain a better respect for Indigenous water and land protectors, and the environment around them and helps show children activism at an early age. 
We all come from Mother Earth, we all learn from her, and we all live from her.  Mother Earth has many children, not just humans. These children are all our relatives, including animals. This book focuses on our relationship with our ocean-living relatives and teaches us what we all must do to nurture and protect them.


Medicine Wheel Publishing is committed to sharing diverse voices and perspectives, creating a platform for stories that celebrate Indigenous cultures and inspire understanding and respect among readers of all ages.

“…a wonderful way to help children and adults understand specific issues that are going on in the world. A great message…”
