| Review Quote* | An important topic is treated with grace, love, and a smidgen of humor in this delightful, necessary book. |
| Review Quote* | ... a worthwhile addition to classroom and public libraries and a resource for discussions about First Nations and ecology. |
| Review Quote* | ... like so many titles about Indigenous topics finally earning shelf space in Canadian libraries and bookshops, "The Water Walker" has just as much to teach parents as the children... Joanne Robertson succeeds in answering with her words and her art the same question that Nokomis Josephine answered with her footsteps: "What are you going to do about it?" |
