Do you ever wonder where the iconic dreamcatcher came from? The dreamcatcher is a gift to the Ojibwe from Grandmother Spider, who weaves a web for each of us to hang above our beds when we sleep to catch dreams that are not as they seem.  Dreamcatcher: Grandmother’s Web teaches readers to look to the seven directions as inspiration for how to live a healthy life in harmony with the world around us. East is the humble Wolf. South is the proud Raven. West is the delighted Buffalo. North is the strong Bear. Up is the hard-working Beaver. Down is the mindful Turtle. Within is the thoughtful Eagle who asks us to look inside ourselves for what we need.  With gorgeous illustrations, this book reminds young readers that they are strong, unique stars.

Mother Earth, we come from her, we go to her, without her we wouldn’t be here, she gives all of us life and because of her, we are all one family. In almost all segments of Indigenous life, we speak of Mother Earth, Father Sky, Grandfather Sun, and Grandmother Moon. Meet Your Family is a rhythmic poem that will enlighten readers on how to view these important figures while sharing a greater concept of seeing the world as our natural family. Presented in both English and Ojibwe, an additional softcover book in Ojibwe is included inside this hardcover book.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.
