Harjo thinks of “a poem as a pocket or an envelope that can hold dreams, thoughts or anything else …” Her sophisticated poem calls on us to “Remember the sky that you were born under,/know each of the star’s stories.” It is presented in lushly illustrated picture book format to reflect the indigenous stories from which they derive, calling on all to remember.
