Water Walkers Ripples and Waves: Walking Lake Huron, Book 3, (Hardcover)

Ripples and Waves is the story of an Ojibway girl named Mai. Her family members are walking around Lake Huron 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 Mai and her new friend Kaiya, make dreamcatchers as gifts of friendship for other children around the lake. However when their gifts are not accepted, they seek the advice of their elders. Will the messages they receive help them to bring a community together? Can they send out ripples and waves of friendship?

Ripples and Waves is a tribute to the many Native women and men who in today's world have courageously walked over 19,500 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 resources, cross-curriculum activities, a glossary of environmental terms, how to make a dreamcatcher, and ten ways for children to protect the Earth. With new, original illustrations by a Native American artist--David W. Craig.
