New Tradewind Title Wôpanâak Seasons was featured in The British Columbia Review.

The book is written by Carrie Anne Vanderhoop and illustrated by Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley.

The review remarks that “with lovely, striking images and a warm, exultant child’s voice that exclaims about nature, family, and family-in-nature, Carrie Anne Vanderhoop and Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley take readers to another imaginative world whose citizens appreciate their place in the family of things.”

In Wôpanâak Seasons: Seeqan, Neepun, Keepun, Pup8n, a young Wampanoag child takes readers on a seasonal journey through Aquinnah, on Neope, known as Martha’s Vineyard. Spring brings the return of wildlife; summer brings beach adventures and clambakes; fall is for harvesting and making jams; and winter features cozy gatherings and heartfelt traditions. Each season showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Wampanoag people. With striking illustrations and lyrical prose, this book is about an appreciation of the land and the joy of coming together with family and community all year round.
