- Book Synopsis
- ★ "The strength of this book lies in its seamless weaving of cultural tradition with a relatable child's mistake. This is a tender, culturally rich story that is a touching celebration of heritage, honesty, and family that will inspire young readers to cherish their roots." - School Library Journal (SLJ), starred review Delia's mom has the most beautiful earrings. They're long and dangly earrings, and made from strands upon strands of tiny blue, green and white beads that make the earrings look like waterfalls. Delia decides to wear the earrings to school to show off a little to her friends. And it works-until one earring falls down the drain in the school bathroom. When Delia confides in her grandmother about the lost earring, she learns that she can't just replace it: her Aunt Maureen made the earrings for her mother to celebrate getting their Métis citizenship. Delia didn't even know her family was Métis! With no way to replace the lost earring, Delia must own up to her mistakes, dive deeper into her Métis identity and use her storytelling skills to find a way to make things right. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
