"Hope is the thing with feathers in this soaring tale of indefatigable Indigenous identity. This powerful work touches on the immeasurable loss of life, language, and cultural identity while modeling resilience for processing these institutions’ lasting individual impact. Backmatter lends additional color and context and includes a hopeful author’s note offering a brief history of cultural erasure. A moving multigenerational story that urges us to look forward with optimism even as we acknowledge the pain of the past." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

In a treehouse by the sea, a grandfather shares the story of how he kept his dreams alive with thoughts of his future grandchild—who is his most precious dream of all.

Hope takes flight in this tender picture book by author Karina Iceberg (Aleut-Alutiiq), and illustrator Steph Littlebird (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde), who share a story of Native resilience with a conversation between a grandparent and grandchild that soars into a message of love that spans generations—both those past and to come.
