Lovebirds: The Story of Raven and Eagle by Sondra Segundo

Indigenous author and illustrator Sondra Segundo brings us Lovebirds, the second of three children’s books in a series that celebrates Haida culture and language. Lovebirds tells the story of a raven and eagle who want to be together forever! 

Inspired by ancient Haida stories, each original tale in the series weaves in Haida language and song to help encourage the revitalization of author Sondra Segundo’s Indigenous culture. The text carefully incorporates specific Haida words as a way to introduce young people to the unique sounds and meaning of the Haida language. "It's very important to me to help preserve our culture in any way I can," Segundo said.
