Summary:

"A love letter to Indigenous communities everywhere, this picture book gorgeously illustrated by Julie Flett celebrates seasons, nature, and community. Based on Academy Award-winning Cree icon Buffy Sainte-Marie's song of the same name, Still This Love Goes On is a stunning celebration of Indigenous experience. Breathtaking illustrations from celebrated Cree-Métis artist Julie Flett combine with Sainte-Marie's vivid lyrics to craft a remarkable piece of art. Destined to be read and sung for generations, this gem of a picture book is accompanied by: Sheet music so that readers can play along; A note from Sainte-Marie about her much-admired song; 'Sat beside a beaver dam and watched the winter grow. Ice was hard with little tracks appearing in the snow. Fog is in the valley now and all the geese are gone. Cross the moon I saw them go and Still this love goes on and on.'"-- Provided by publisher.

"With lyrics by internationally renowned Cree Singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie and images by award winning Cree-Métis author and illustator Julie Flett, this book, based on the song of the same name, is a love letter celebrating seasons, place, Indigenous traditions, and community. It is a song of hope. Of home. Of power and place and change and time. Of summer flowers turning fields to sun, and hearts filled with drumbeats. Read it. Sing it. Share it."--Inside front jacket flap.
