"Cycling from spring to spring, [Julie Flett's] subtle, sensitive story delicately traces filaments of growth and loss through intergenerational friendship, art making, and changing moons and seasons."--Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

When Katherena and her mother move to a small town, Katherena feels lonely and out of place. But when she meets an elderly woman who lives next door, named Agnes--her world starts to change.

Katherena and Agnes share the same passion for art making, birds, and connection to nature. But as the seasons change, can Katherena navigate her new friend growing old?

From award-winning Indigenous artist, Julie Flett, comes a breathtaking story of intergenerational friendships, shared passions, and spending time outdoors through changing seasons of life.

Stunning illustrations of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes bring vibrancy and warmth to this powerful story and includes a glossary and pronunciation guide to Cree words that appear in the text.
