Gabriel's Winter Count

We share our stories to stay connected. No matter how far apart we are.
Coming October 6. Pre-order today!

By: Andrea M. Page / Illustrated by: Alfreda Beartrack Algeo

We are never alone in our tiyospaye.

Gabriel's parents are leaving to serve, and he will stay with his grandmother, his unci. When Gabriel forgets to give his parents a parting gift, an important tradition in their Lakota family, he is bereft.

But then he learns about winter counts from Unci, and as they wait out the long months for Mama and Daddy to return, he becomes the keeper of the winter count in their family.
