The Range Eternal | 
pickI read soooo many picture books. I try to read all of the native and indigenous themed picture books in our library collection because I‘m pretty sure no other library staff member does. I have noticed an absence of native girl characters that are not presented as historical figures or living through residential schools. Review continued in the comments.
Krisjericho This is just a lovely story about a girl who experiences the warmth created by “the range eternal”, a wood burning stove brand. It is extended into a metaphor for the range eternal of memory and of the past, but overall the line that captures the feel the most is “I long for a center of true warmth”. Gorgeous watercolor illustrations. This is cozy and nostalgic in the best way. 5y
