A bi-racial, eight-year old, Lakota and African young girl, named Star Song is given special powers to save humanity through the help of two ancestors, an elderly, Lakota medicine woman named Willow and an Ashanti leader, named Baba Tutu. Her powers are activated using a strand of white cowrie shells and a blue feather. What makes Star Song unique is that she does not buckle under peer pressure at school, or when confronted by evil doers. She remains true in her cultural richness in her effort to save the world.

This book was written with good intent to educate more people so they can understand the value of the plants and protect our earth. Many of the plants described in the book are used by Indigenous peoples differently from one another. Chenae Bullock shares her oral history can also be similar or different from other communities.
