Nibi’s Water Song

"Tenasco writes openly and honestly about the unequal treatment of Indigenous communities. . . Nibi's song conveys the powerful message that clean water is a basic human right that should be afforded to everyone regardless of their ethnicity. The book successfully functions as a catalyst for an important conversation between parents and children. Yet, despite the subject matter, the text remains age-appropriate."

"One gutsy girl leads the way."

"The compelling narrative with its accompanying illustrations explains the fight for clean water in simple and relatable terms, making this a great first purchase."

"Nibi's arc educates readers about the lack of potable water in many Indigenous communities while encouraging children to speak out about conservation issues."

"Astute readers will easily draw connections to the news headlines about the Dakota Access Pipeline protests by the Standing Rock Sioux."

"A good introduction to this under-reported injustice."
