If I listened… is the journey of a nine-year-old girl named Waawaatesi, after the crossing of her Nookmis to the spirit world.
Told in the voice of her older self, she recounts the heroic efforts of her seventeen-year-old Uncle Finn to find her, as well as the story of the fantastical landscapes she passes through with her best friend and heart, Ogichidaa, who appears and disappears with the vivacity of her imagination….
(IN SOME DIALECTS OF ANISHINAABEMOWIN NOOKMIS MEANS GRANDMOTHER, WAAWAATESI MEANS FIREFLY, AND OGICHIDAA PROTECTOR)
