Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior by Carole Lindstrom

From New York Times bestselling picture book author Carole Lindstrom
and illustrator Bridget George comes Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior, an
inspiring picture book biography about indigenous water warriors
Autumn Peltier and Josephine Mandamin - with a forward from Autumn
Peltier herself.
The seventh generation is creating
A sea of change.
It was a soft voice, at first.
Like a ripple.
But with practice it grew louder.
As the environmental crisis becomes more dire, young activists are raising
their voices to bring awareness to policymakers on a global scale. In their
ranks is water activist Autumn Peltier, who became the youngest Chief Water
Commissioner for the Anishinabek Nation in 2019 at the age of 14. Before her,
that title was held by her great aunt Josephine Mandamin. Josephine walked
over 15,000 miles in her lifetime to advocate for the importance of clean water.
Always acting with the next seven generations in mind, the Anishinaabe have
long fostered a culture of educating and caring for the welfare of our future
generations.

Carole Lindstrom is the author of the New York Times bestselling and
Caldecott Award-winning We Are Water Protector s. She is Anishinabe/Metis
and is a proud member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe Indians. She
was born and raised in Nebraska and currently makes her home in Maryland.
