It takes great imagination to survive. A young Indigenous girl growing up in Alberta navigates a world of substance abuse, aliens, and the spiritual presence of her guiding grandmothers. Inher darkest moments, her superhero Kookum with magic moccasins appears to help light theway forward. With humour, forgiveness, and truth, she is able to heal from the past andtransform her future.

Award-winning Cree artist Michelle Thrush weaves real-life memories with laughter, grace, and playfulness to explore her own inner Elder. A mix of poignant recollections, beautiful humour, and intimate storytelling that will open your heart and mind while making you laugh out loud.
