Wonderful story about finding your own strength in your roots and the Earth. The illustrations are beautiful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely *by Z***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015* Really beautiful book, both the prose and the illustrations. This smart, proud, and compassionate heroine will make you and your kids smile, and this story will inspire you to stop reading and go outside. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important book. Text is definitely 5 star; I do have some reservations about the illustrations *by R***M on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019* I think this is a must-have book for libraries and classrooms, especially in the northeastern USA, where the exact flavor of prejudice depicted here has been (and remains) rampant and inadequately discussed. (Apparently my local librarian agrees with me, even though I didn't get the chance to give her my whole spiel; the book appeared on a prominent shelf in the children's section a few days after I showed her my copy.)However, I have to admit, my preschooler isn't quite ready for this book yet. (The other kids being mean to the main character was a bit much for particular kid, who is easily worried by "meanness",, and the resolution not clear enough. We'll try again in a year or three.) So, unlike a lot of my picture book reviews (where I'm rating a book both on how much I like it myself AND on how much it holds my kid), this one is going to be all me.The text of this book is unusually subtle in how it handles verbal bullying and different facets of identity. The words that the other kids use to hurt the Native main character are focused on poverty and being "weird", while her grandfather remembers being called a "frog" and taunted for being French when he was a kid. The bullies are never confronted directly or reformed; the book is focused on the main character (with gentle support and validation from her grandfather) finding strength in her identity, even though that identity is under attack at school.It's not that I don't also like to see books where bullies are confronted/reformed, but it's a topic that is often handled with a certain - triteness? In contrast, this book doesn't pretend that the situation is easy or immediately fixable, but does hold out hope that it is survivable. It's a book that truly seems to be written in support of the bullied, instead of as an empathy exercise for bullies.My one caveat is that while this is an #OwnVoices text (and it shows!), the illustrator is some white dude who likes to paint wildlife (and that shows, too). The bullying situation is something that could be happening in my town. The photo of the author shows a woman who looks like she could be one of my neighbors. But the painted Abenaki characters don't look like my neighbors; they look more stereotypically "Indian" in their features and have much darker skin than any Abenaki that I've met. (Except when the main character is having her dream about being powerful Muskrat? In her dream, she's much fairer - and also wearing more stereotypical "Indian" clothing???) Some of the pictures seem convincing to me, while others give me just a little bit of a Holy Simple Native Folk vibe. The wildlife, on the other hand, looks great? Very realistic?So, anyhow, I would love to see another edition of this book done by an #OwnVoices illustrator! Books like A Different Pond or I Lost My Tooth in Africa get so much of their power from text and illustrations speaking together about a shared experience, and this version of this book just doesn't have that. That said, in my opinion the text is important enough (and the illustrations not actively problematic enough) to make this book a very worthwhile and important story to share with our young people, so I am going to go ahead and give the full 5 stars for the book overall. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/16897780-muskrat-will-be-swimming](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/16897780-muskrat-will-be-swimming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
