Description
Consultant, international speaker and award-winning author Monique Gray Smith wrote You Hold Me Up to prompt a dialogue among young people, their care providers and educators about reconciliation and the importance of the connections children make with their friends, classmates and families. This is a foundational book about building relationships, fostering empathy and encouraging respect between peers, starting with our littlest citizens.
Advance Praise
"Smith's text is heartwarming! And
the illustrations, by Danielle Daniel, reflect Native people in the present
day. Like My Heart Fills with Happiness, this new book by Smith is one
that parents, grandparents, pre-school and elementary teachers, and librarians,
will want to have on their shelves."
Debbie
Reese, American Indians in Children’s
Literature
“All the words and art offer a warm and
positive message. Simple and pointed phrases are printed boldly on white or
pastel backgrounds...with stylized, bright, watercolor illustrations on each
opposing page...cheeks with outlined, bright pink circles; other features are
sweetly expressive lines of ink, sometimes including little heart for mouths.
Birds, flowers, and gaily patterned wallpapers add to a feeling of contentment
and communal power...Calming, positive, and serenely affirmative." Kirkus Reviews
