Review Quote "A touching and universal narrative . . . This title should definitely be added to any list of recommended childrens books focused on indigenous life, family, tradition, feelings, anxiety, fear and self-regulation. Swift Fox All Along is also brimming with cross curricular applications for school use, including incorporation with science, social studies, history, language, and mental health. Highly Recommended." Description for Sales People Own Voices: Illustrator Maya McKibbin is a two spirited Yaqui, Ojibwe and Irish. Author Rebecca Thomas is an award-winning Mikmaw poet. The story is deeply personal. Rebecca is of mixed heritage and grew up off-reserve and was 6 years old before she began getting to know her father. Her dad himself attended a residential school and had lost connection with his culture and language. This was something regained later with wider visits to his home community and wanted to share with his children. Important themes: the Indigenous story is full of universal themes including family, connection, identity and self-acceptance.
