As neighbors on this earth, we share our stories with the children. Salmon are central to the ecosystem and the lives of many Indigenous Nations. This is a lyrical informational picture book about how open-net pen fish farms impact wild salmon and their ecosystems.
Ages 5 to 8, Grades 1 to 3
Today, the salmon must battle against the human-made destruction of their habitat, and many Nations are advocating for change and creating calls of action to protect salmon for future generations.
As the young salmon journey from their gravel nests to the open ocean, readers learn about the life cycle of wild salmon, the effects of open-net pen fish farms, and the role of salmon as a keystone species.
