I Sang You Down from the Stars, by Tasha Spillet-Sumner, with radiant illustrations by the talented Michaela Goade, is a picture book about the excitement of an expecting mother and the way she prepares for the birth of her child. The two indigenous artists, Spillet-Sumner and Goade, celebrate the long-held and cherished traditions between mother and child through this beautiful book.
Told through Spillet-Sumner’s lyrical words, and accompanied by the watercolor illustrations from Goade, we can see the deep connection between humans and the physical world around them. It reads with the same soothing nature of a lullaby, detailing the mother being led to gifts to collect for her expected child.
