Still This Love Goes On

From Cree-Métis artist Julie Flett and Academy Award-winning icon Buffy Sainte-Marie* comes a celebration of Indigenous community, and the enduring love we hold for the people and places we are far away from.

Based on Sainte-Marie’s song of the same name, Still This Love Goes On combines Flett's breathtaking art with vivid lyrics to craft a stunning portrait of a Cree worldview. At the heart of this picture book is a gentle message about missing our loved ones, and the promise of seeing each other again.

This gem of a picture book features:

Sheet music of Buffy Sainte-Marie's beloved song
Notes from Sainte-Marie and Flett about their inspiration for the song and illustrations

Brimming with love for community and the land, Still This Love Goes On is destined to be read and sung for generations.

*While the Cree heritage of Buffy Sainte Marie has now been disputed, the book, illustrations and content still celebrate the Indigenous story.
