The cover of the picture book, I Sang You Down From The Stars -
I Sang You Down From The Stars is a love letter from a mother to her child.
The language is simple yet poetic and radiates with love and care. It expresses the mother’s desire for her child, her imagining the child as it grows within, her welcoming it as it is born, and her intention to teach and love it.
It is a story of an expectant mother who, in the tradition of the indigenous people of Canada, gathers gifts her child would need throughout life, such as traditional medicine and a special blanket, to give her baby when it is born.
