From the Back Cover
Lacey Little Bird loves spending time with Kahasi, her grandmother, who is an elder on their reserve. From her, Lacey is learning about their people, the Siksika Blackfoot tribe of Alberta, including the art of beadwork. Lacey hears about a project to help grandmothers in Africa who are raising their grandchildren because their parents have died from AIDS. Even though Africa is far, far away, Lacey wants to help and writes to the organizers with a plan to raise money by selling handmade bags and purses. What difference can a young Blackfoot girl from North America make in the lives of grandmothers in Africa? A lot, as Lacey discovers. Her decision to help will bring about amazing changes in her life and her community.
Lacey and the African Grandmothers is based on true events, real people, and the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. It is a Kids’ Power Book – a series inspired by real stories of young people who have taken action to make their lives, and their world, better.
