Starred selection for CCBCs Best Books for Kids & Teens 2023! Rocky Cree people understand that all children are born with four gifts or talents. When a child is old enough, they decide which gift, or mthikowisiwin, they will seek to master. With her sapotawan ceremony fast approaching, Am must choose her mthikowisiwin. Her sister, Psim, became a midwife others gather medicines or harvest fish. But none of those feel quite right. Am has always loved making things. Her uncle can show her how to make nipisiwata, willow baskets. Her grandmother can teach herhow to make kwakwywata, birchbark containers and plates. Herauntie has offered to begin Ams apprenticeship in making askihkwak, pottery. What will Ams mthikowisiwin be? Which skill shouldshe choose? And how will she know what is right for her?
