Book

It's summer at last and time to pick wild yarrow. As a little girl and her mom wait, grandmother prepares for the outing. Then she leads the way to the field of flowers where they can finally start to pick. Written in Cree and English, and accompanied by rich acrylic illustrations, this simple story shows the patience, love and humor involved in a multigenerational family outing. The text was translated into Cree by Leona Morin-Neilson, who was also the inspiration for the story. Includes a recipe for yarrow tea, known for it refreshing, soothing effects."-- dust jacket
