JULIE FLETT, DALLAS HUNT, BRETT HUSON
In this delightful afternoon of language and learning, Wapisewsipi author Dallas Hunt (Awâsis and the World- Famous Bannock), Gitxsan author Brett Huson (The Sockeye Mother & The Grizzly Mother) and Cree-Métis author Julie Flett (Birdsong) lead kids on a fun, lively journey through the woods. When young Awâsis accidentally loses her Kohkum’s worldfamous bannock, she works together with her forest friends to recover the celebrated recipe. In the Skeena River, a grizzly bear teaches her cubs about their environment. A young girl forms a friendship with an elderly neighbour through a shared love of art and nature. Through beautiful images and dynamic presentations, the authors introduce children to Indigenous languages and cultures and enriching perspectives—making for a perfect afternoon for hungry minds and adventurous hearts.
Presented in partnership with Vancity.
Suitable for grades 2-3.
