Stand Like a Cedar is a strong song of peoples and place. It’s emotive and instructive and begs us all to be attentive to how we interact with the land and its life.

Stand Like a Cedar is a work of grace and dignity, a celebration of land, family, and knowing who you are and where you come from and being so grateful for everything you’ve been given. Bravo, Nicola Campbell and Carrielynn Victor for creating this treasure. I love it.

Campbell’s rhythmic writing is wonderful, conveying important messages about the environment and family. Victor’s vibrant renderings accompany the engaging text nicely. Bold illustrations portray elements such as weather, nature, and animals alongside evocative details like glowing skylines.
An Indigenous girl shares vivid lessons in this lovely, thoughtful environmental tale.
