This illustrates how all relationships are interconnected and how everyone depends on each other (including nature). The book What Does Mother Earth Share? extends this theme. We used photos of a worm, a goose, and a beaver and showed their daily contributions to the ecosystem. This reflects the Indigenous way of seeing how everything is interconnected. In the books we very much focused on Indigenous worldview and how this worldview centers on connections to the Earth and the value systems of Indigenous people. This philosophy can be seen in every book.

The book What Is A Family? was written for Kindergarten children and shows how all families are different but yet the same. We represented different kinds of families—a family with: a mother and a father; two fathers; one mother; one grandmother; one moose and her calf; and a mare and her foal (Fig. 5.4).
