Stepping Stones: Walking Lake Michigan (Water Walkers)

Stepping Stones is the story of an Ojibway girl named Mai. Her family members are walking around Lake Michigan to raise awareness about the harm being done to the Great Lakes. As Mai walks along the lakeside path, she tries to find ways to help. On the journey, the water walkers are confronted by a passing driver who shouts, ?Go back to your reservation. You don?t belong here.? Mai is frightened but Grandmother helps her to go beyond the unexpected taunting and learn a special way of expressing herself. Stepping Stones is a tribute to the many Native women and men who in today?s world have courageously walked countless miles to draw attention to the condition of water. The message of this diverse, environmental book is to protect the water. Included are common core state standards, web and print, cross-curriculum activities, a glossary of environmental terms, and ten ways for children to protect the Earth. With new, original illustrations by a Native American artist, David W. Craig.
