Overview

In the early morning hours, two young children go on a journey of discovery with their grandfather, a great chief. After offering prayers to Creator, Grandfather leads Aiyanna and Little Wolf separately to the river gorge to meet the Echo People. There, surrounded by the beauty of Mother Earth, the children connect with the Echo People in a way that reveals something about themselves and learn a valuable lesson that will guide them throughout their lives. Winner of Lee & Low's New Voices award, The Echo People gently teaches young readers that if we meet the world with love and kindness then that kindness is echoed back to us.
