An Anishinaabe child and her grandmother explore the natural
wonders of each season in this lyrical, bilingual story-poem. In
this lyrical story-poem, written in Anishinaabemowin and English, a
child and grandmother explore their surroundings, taking pleasure
in the familiar sights that each new season brings. We accompany
them through warm summer days full of wildflowers, bees and
blueberries, then fall, when bears feast before hibernation and
forest mushrooms are ripe for harvest. Winter mornings begin in
darkness as deer, mice and other animals search for food, while
spring brings green shoots poking through melting snow and the
chirping of peepers. Brittany Luby and Joshua Mangeshig
Pawis-Steckley have created a book inspired by childhood memories
of time spent with Knowledge Keepers, observing and living in
relationship with the natural world in the place they call home -
the northern reaches of Anishinaabewaking, around the Great Lakes.
