Naaahsa is an Artist! - Toronto, ON Second Story Press 2023

"Naaahsa says art is a language everyone understands. Sometimes we make art together. We draw, we bead, we sing. Sometimes Naaahsa tells stories in Blackfoot. I even get to go with her to see her art show at the National Gallery. Naaahsa is famous for her art, but I love her hugs best. Naaahsa is an Artist is a celebration of artists, and especially an acknowledgment of Indigenous women who have paved the way for emerging artists and creatives. Through bold statements and colourful spreads, each page comes to life with encouraging words and actions that will make readers want to make art themselves."
