STARRED Review
From Cree-Métis artist Julie Flett and Academy Award-winning icon Buffy Sainte-Marie comes a celebration of Indigenous community, and the enduring love we hold for the people and places we are far away from.
Based on Sainte-Marie's song of the same name,
Still This Love Goes On
combines Flett's breathtaking art with vivid lyrics to craft a stunning portrait of a Cree worldview. At the heart of this picture book is a gentle message about missing our loved ones, and the promise of seeing each other again.
This gem of a picture book features:
Sheet music of Buffy Sainte-Marie's beloved song
Notes from Sainte-Marie and Flett about their inspiration for the song and illustrations
Brimming with love for community and the land,
is destined to be read and sung for generations.
