The Land is Calling me Home

The Land is Calling Me Home is the story of a young Métis girl who feels a deep connection to the land and hears the whispers of her ancestors. Guided by the wind, the water, and the trees, she discovers the stories of those who came before her, finding strength, pride, and a sense of belonging along the way. At a time when Métis voices and histories are receiving increased national attention, this story offers young readers an authentic and accessible celebration of Métis culture while encouraging meaningful conversations about identity, ancestry, and reconciliation. The girl’s path of self-discovery mirrors the author’s own personal journey of connecting with her Métis heritage. This story captures the powerful bond Indigenous people share with the land, offering a message of connection, identity, belonging, and the importance of knowing where we come from and having the courage to walk the path of discovery. Brought to life through the beautiful artwork of award-winning illustrator Erin Stagg, The Land is Calling Me Home will inspire children and adults alike to explore their own roots with pride and curiosity.
