The Dancing Trees English Edition 2015 My Mother's Name are songThe Dancing Trees by Masiana Kelly, an Inuk Dene writer from Kugluktuk, NU, and illustrated by Michelle Simpson, is about Thomas who loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is.
