Aboriginal creator Gregg Dreise explores his cultural
tradition of painting in this picture book for readers aged 5 to 7 years. With
ochre from Mother Earth, two young girls are guided by Uncle to paint each
layer of the Thank Your Circles as a celebration of the different elements of
our world. When the dots are placed together, they form circles of life.
Circles of Life explores
themes such as First Nation traditions and storytelling, art, creativity, and
the environment. The story encourages children to create their own artworks and
reflect on the meaning behind each stroke and dot.
This book is a companion to Dreise’s previous picture
books, Hello and Welcome and My Culture and Me.
