Among the outstanding books listed in AICL's 2023 Year in Review are a number of works from HighWater Press. We are so happy for the writers and artists who created these books and want to sincerely congratulate them!

This list focuses on Indigenous writers and artists from Nations on the continent known as North America. The purpose of the list is to showcase genuine and authentic works of writing concerning Indigenous people.

AICL's goal is to see multiple copies of the books on this list in every public library, school, and classroom—a goal we share. This link will take you to the complete list: americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com
