The Sharing Circle: Stories about First Nations Culture is a collection of seven stories that feature a young Aboriginal boy named Matthew as the protagonist. Each story highlights a unique aspect of First Nations culture and spiritual beliefs. Matthew becomes a source of information for young readers who want to learn about important Aboriginal artifacts. There is the Eagle Feather used by Native drummers and dancers; the Dream Catcher, which when given as a gift, will help the recipient have good dreams; and the Medicine Pouch, in which items of sacred or special meaning can be carried.

The Sharing Circle is an informative, reader-friendly book. Illustrations by Mi'kmaq artist Arthur Stevens complement the text and take readers on a visual journey while offering a learning experience.
