From Dene artist and bioethicist Lisa Boivin comes this healing story of hope, dreams, and the special bond between grandfather and granddaughter. When a little girl dreams about a bear, her grandfather explains how we connect with the knowledge of our ancestors through dreams.

Masterful prose and stunning collage weave a gentle story about life and death that will touch the hearts of children and adults alike.
