"Once again Rebel Mountain Press has created a beautiful book. Nootka Sound in Harmony is geared for children to read but really it's for all of us. Author Spencer Sheehan-Kalina poetry tells a story of a young girl on a paddling adventure of Nootka Sound. Adjoining each poetry page are Aboriginal connections which enlightens the reader about the Mowachaht/Muchalahat people. The photographs and art work are beautiful and will delight both young and old." Lily Dawn, author.
