Iris Loewen is the author of My Mom Is So Unusual, also published by Pemmican. A librarian and teacher, she helped set up the highly regarded library of the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural College in Saskatoon and taught in Bella Coola, British Columbia. She is now Head Librarian for the Ermineskin Schools in Hobbema, Alberta. Gloria Miller is an illustrator, silversmith and teacher of art. Books she has illustrated include The Sahtuotine Long Ago and two series of First Nation language readers published by the Northwest Territories Department of Education and by the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural College. She now lives in Langley, British Columbia.

When her Kokum (grandmother) calls from the Reserve, a young First Nations girl living in the city knows she can expect a special experience. This time it's a dance. She learns that women, especially grandmothers, are the ties that hold together the many First Nations dispersed in rural and urban communities.

All Juvenile.
