In this story, a happy young boy named Joey loves his grandmother very much and spends a lot of time singing and dancing with her. Joey's grandmother is always giving him pleasant choices to make, such as whether to have applesauce with cinnamon or with ice cream, and he especially enjoys his grandmother's Tla-o-qui-aht song "Waa-yee-seekee aakx kuu" which means "Which way should I go?" One day, Joey's grandmother dies and he experiences a very dark period when he feels that there is no point in choosing anything. Joey, however, feels his grandmother's presence through a vision of her and the sound of her song and he realizes that although he did not have a choice regarding his grandmother's death, he can make choices regarding his own life. From that time on, Joey's appreciation for all life has to offer is expressed through dynamic song and dance. Colourful, full-page illustrations support the easy-to-read text. The afterword explains what the First Nations "Waa-yee-seekee aakx kuu" song means to co-author Ron Martin.--Ministry of Education website.
