From the winner of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book Prize and
the American Indian Youth Literature Award
I’d like to tell you a rather true story about a big black cat who
started out gray. Her name was May.
Margaux and her cat May became friends when Margaux was just six years
old. They grew up together, sharing countless memories along the way.
But one day, May is late coming home. Where is May? Is she under the
porch? Maybe on the roof?
Margaux’s nitôsis (the Cree word for auntie) helps search for May in
the tall grass. But soon nitôsis needs to leave: she’s moving away to
the big city, and has to pack her things into boxes. Margaux helps
nitôsis, but she can’t take her mind off May. Will she ever return?
nitôsis is worried, too. But little do they know, May has a surprise in
store for both of them!
This fun and heartwarming story with a surprise happy ending invites
readers to share their own cat stories. My Friend May is a tribute to
love and the balance between all beings, and the experiences and
emotions that connect us all.

BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL,
KIRKUS, HORN BOOK, QUILL & QUIRE, GLOBE AND MAIL WINNER OF THE
TD CANADIAN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AWARD FINALIST FOR THE GOVERNOR
GENERAL'S AWARD AN AMERICAN INDIAN YOUTH LITERATURE HONOR TITLE A
BOSTON GLOBE--HORN BOOK HONOR BOOK When Katherena and her mother
move to a small town, Katherena feels lonely and out of place. But
when she meets an elderly woman artist who lives next door, named
Agnes--her world starts to change. Katherena and Agnes share the
same passions for arts and crafts, birds, and nature. But as the
seasons change, can Katherna navigate the failing health of her new
friend? Award-winning author and artist Julie Flett's textured
images of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes bring vibrancy and
warmth to this powerful story, which highlights the fulfillment of
intergenerational relationships, shared passions, and spending time
outdoors with the ones we love. Includes a glossary and
pronunciation guide to Cree words that appear in the text.
"Cree-Metis author/illustrator Julie Flett's smooth and lyrical
words and gorgeous... images truly capture the warmth and
solidarity of the female protagonists in this tender
intergenerational friendship story."-The Horn Book "Cycling from
spring to spring, [Julie Flett's] subtle, sensitive story
delicately traces filaments of growth and loss through
intergenerational friendship, art making, and changing moons and
seasons." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)
An encounter with a pheasant (which may or may not be sleeping)
takes a surprising turn in this sweetly serious and funny story of
a Native American boy and his grandma "Pull over, Grandma! Hurry!"
Johnny says. Grandma does, and Johnny runs to show her what he
spotted near the ditch: a sleeping pheasant. What Grandma sees is a
small feathery hump. When Johnny wants to take it home, Grandma
tries to tell him that the pheasant might have been hit by a car.
But maybe she could use the feathers for her craftwork? So home
with Grandma and Johnny the pheasant goes . . . It's hard to say
who is most surprised by what happens next-Grandma, Johnny, or the
pheasant. But no one will be more delighted than the reader at this
lesson about patience and kindness and respect for nature, imparted
by Grandma's gentle humor, Johnny's happy hooting, and all the
quiet wisdom found in Cheryl Minnema's stories of Native life and
Julie Flett's remarkably evocative and beautiful illustrations.
