‘Ada and Her Magic Feather’ is complete.
I am overjoyed with the outcome of this love project! My soul tribe has worked tirelessly to ensure Ada, Kokum, and Magic Feather come to life in a way that is meaningful for girls and women. This book series begins with this first book about a lesson in setting healthy boundaries. Valuable learning for girls and presented in a way to honour our daughters’ need to learn about self-love and respect. The setting is based on conversations and the learning that takes place around Kokum’s kitchen table. Ada, a courageous 8-year-old girl discloses she is feeling bullied by a girl at school. This story shows how Ada processes her very real emotions about the situation through to how she confronts the situation for herself. This book is intended to show examples of how we demonstrate self-love and is written through a child’s lens. There are no cliche messages about having to make friends with everyone and we all live happily ever after. Straight to the point and sharing the process for children to learn how to apply values-based strategies like setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Parents and teachers will see value in using this story as a platform to facilitate discussions about the topic of setting healthy boundaries.

I plan to have it live for sale on Amazon by the end of June. Being Metis, I feel like June is a powerful month for remembrance of our people’s roots in Canada and with the countless tragedies to our children, girls, and women, I feel it’s the best month of the year to share Ada and Magic Feather with the world.

I am grateful beyond measure for this love project and am so excited to hear your feedback!
