About this listen
- Written by an Indigenous icon: Cree singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie has been writing and performing her music for decades.

"Full of native songs, dances and magical creatures, this silly story is an immersion into a Cree folkloric world… Cree words are easily understood through context clues, and there’s a glossary at the end…..for readers who enjoy trickster tales, or for units on tricksters in different cultures….and larger collections looking to add more Native American fiction.”—Youth Services Book Review
"Endearing characters and cheerful illustrations bring this humorous, engaging story to life. A great read- aloud for both children and adults."—Booklist Review
"Beautiful, poignant and poetic. This story will weave its way into the hearts and minds of readers for generations."—Monique Gray Smith, author of My Heart Fills With Happiness
