Book Description: When young Bud sees people bustling around, intent on their chores and their screens, she is certain they must be doing important things—and she wants to be included. But wise Nokomis, her grandmother, shows her that there is a different way to find belonging, one that relies on stillness and observing the natural world. As Bud discovers the freely given gifts of the Earth, she wonders if she has something important to give back: What is her gift? Bud Finds Her Gift inspires readers to treasure nature’s generosity and the gifts each one of us can share with the Earth.
Bud Finds Her Gift is included in Maadagindan!, a book club on children’s literature by Native American authors that focus on the Great Lakes and Ojibwe culture.
