<span style="color:#006400">UP Notable Book Club</span>:</strong>
The Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the
U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled
author events with winners of the <em>UP Notable Book List</em>.
The 39th event is with author and educator Julie Buchholtz--a proud
member of the Bay Mills Tribe of Chippewa Indians, a federally
recognized tribe comprised of Ojibwe people. <em> Youth Services
Book Review </em>says: "<em>Who Am I?</em> is an affirmational
picture book, promoting pride in one’s heritage and the importance
of stewardship for the Earth... Libraries looking to expand
offerings by native authors will want to add this book."<br>

one little girl. And with those three words her mama takes her on
a journey, discovering the ways she is connected to the plants and
animals around her, her present and her past, her ancestors, and
the land she lives on--the whole of Mother Earth. <em>Who Am I i</em>s
an indigenous perspective on the ways the threads of our lives are
woven in Earth's tapestry, the things that came before--and all
that is yet to be. A lyrical look at the interconnectedness of
life and a mother's tender love. (From the publisher)<br>
