Storyline
Storyline When STEVIE, a smart and spunky 6-year-old Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) girl moves from the city to her First Nation community, she learns about her relationship to Mother Earth and all living things with the help of her two cousins LOGAN, 7, and BELLA, 4, and seven BABY SACRED ANIMALS who have lessons of their own to learn as they grow. They are guided by a Grandmother (NOOKOMIS) narrator who help them understand more about the world, and about being the best they can be!
