I Carry My Ancestors With Me

A Native Children’s Story About Courage, Confidence & Knowing Who You Are

What if a child could discover that courage, strength, and belonging have been part of their story all along?

Through loving conversations with Grandmother and everyday choices, a young Native child discovers that the people who came before us leave behind more than stories—they leave love, lessons, courage, and dreams.
With interactive “YOU CHOOSE” moments, children learn to use their voice, ask for help, try again after mistakes, and believe in themselves.

A heartfelt picture book for ages 3–7 that reminds every child:
I carry my ancestors with me—and I have my own story to create.
