1 post | 1 read

To the Gitxsan of Northwestern British Columbia, Nox Ga’naaw is a storyteller, speaking truths of the universe. After Nox Ga’naaw, the frog mother, releases her eggs among the aquatic plants of a pond, the tiny tadpoles are left to fend for themselves. As they hatch, grow legs, and transform into their adult selves, they must avoid the mouths of hungry predators. Will the young frogs survive to spawn their own eggs, continuing a cycle 200 million years in the making? Book four of the Mothers of Xsan series follows the life cycle of the Columbia Spotted Frog. Learn about why this species is of special significance to the Gitxsan and how Nox Ga'naaw and her offspring are essential to the balance that is life.

The Frog Mother | Hetxw’ms Gyetxw Brett D. Huson

The Mothers of Xsan series continues to be an excellent learning resource with gorgeous art. The Frog Mother does a wonderful job sharing information about the lives of columbia spotted frogs, the ways nature is a part of human life, and the ways that the animals that live in and around the Xsan are a vital part of the lives and culture of the Gitxsan people. Wish these had been around when I was a kid as I would have loved them then too.
