AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A child experiences nature with her Indigenous family. She tells about the animals she sees and hears, the food that is caught and gathered, and the traditions she participates in. Beautiful and thoughtful, a quiet read that reflects on all the seasons and the beauty of nature.
Although the text is in English, many key words are replaced by Salish words. Victor’s illustrations are perfect - the story can be read just by looking at the pictures but is made so much richer by the poetic text. There is a glossary and a pronunciation guide, along with a note about the Salish languages.
