Description
Sarah Ponakey continuing to learn more about her Cree culture and language with the help of the people--and magical animals--around her in the third and final book in the series.
Spring break has finally arrived, and Sarah Ponakey is so happy that her kôhkom has come to stay with her while her mom is away on a work trip. Sarah will have Kôhkom all to herself! Or will she? Sarah has made a special map to show Kôhkom her favorite places in the city, but her plans keep getting interrupted--by an old friend of Kôhkom's, an invitation to a language luncheon, and way more time with new people than Sarah was hoping for. Sarah can't help but be frustrated that nothing is going her way. But when a mysterious little rabbit shows up at the community garden, Sarah starts to realize she has a lot to learn about the importance of patience and how to be a good friend.
Featuring Cree words throughout the story, a glossary, and an author's note, like the first two stories in the Sarah Ponakey, Storycatcher series, Wâposos's Friendship Garden is a heartfelt celebration of family, friendship, and culture.
