Text: “One, two, three, four mornings left until I go to school,” said Shi-shi-etko as she watched sunlight dance butterfly steps across her mother’s sleeping face. When streams of light sent shadows across her mother’s cheeks, she said “Mom, wake up. It’s time for us to bathe down by the creek.” Her mother blinked. “You woke early today, Shi-shi-etko,” she said, swinging her feet to the floor.","id":24539146584123,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":2.1,"height":381,"width":800,"src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_209deede-9423-4305-b978-b0b8f04d83de.jpg?v=1715608886"},"aspect_ratio":2.1,"height":381,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_209deede-9423-4305-b978-b0b8f04d83de.jpg?v=1715608886","width":800},{"alt":"A woman and a girl with medium skin tone stand in a creek with their arms up.
