Synopsis: Water Walkers, Stepping Stones, Ripples, and Waves, and Pass the Feather are award-winning picture books about an Ojibway girl whose family members are walking around Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron to raise awareness about the harm being done to the Great Lakes. The stories are based on what Native People have been doing for the last 14 years to protect water. They are carried in three of Michigan's National Parks--Isle Royale, Keweenaw, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Included are common core state standards, cross-curriculum activities, words to know, plus print and web resources. The Water Walkers books are a tribute to the many Native people who have dedicated themselves to walking 19,500 miles around the perimeter of each of the Great Lakes and down rivers, and waterways to draw attention to the condition of water and responsible usage.
