Have you ever learned a special tradition from your grandparents? Join Musquon on a beautiful summer day as she travels with her grandmother to a green salt marsh. Today is an important day because Musquon is finally old enough to help her family harvest sweetgrass.
But finding the right sweetgrass isn't as easy as it looks! At first, Musquon accidentally picks the wrong kind of grass. Her grandmother patiently teaches her how to look closer, smell the earth, and listen to the land. Musquon must use all her senses and show great patience to spot the shiny, special blades hidden among the ordinary green.
This gentle, beautifully illustrated story invites you into a real Wabanaki cultural tradition. It is a wonderful tale about honoring nature, learning from your elders, and the proud feeling of mastering a new skill. Step into the marsh and see if you can spot the sweetgrass, too!
