Luby subtly shows that asking how a child knows a season has changed … creates a more personalized, meaningful learning experience. STARRED REVIEW
A warmhearted depiction of the seasons and intergenerational closeness.
Highly recommended for home, school and public libraries as a lovely story, but also as an introduction to Indigenous worldview and the Anishinaabemowin language.
Brittany Luby’s (Anishinaabe) exceptional text is perfectly complemented by Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley’s (Ojibwe) gorgeous art.
In this lyrical, bilingual story, a grandmother’s knowledge reveals wonders.
[A] triumph of art, literal and graphic.
[H]ighly recommended for being a simple and charming tool to teach and learn about various forms of Indigenous knowledge: language, artwork, and traditional ways of learning and knowing.
A powerful story that models how to build love and respect for the land and environment.
[B]oth a celebration of the seasons and a close look at the natural world.
The story reveals the love they have for nature and for each other.
[D]istinct, clean lines and appealing use of colour.
Aimed at younger readers but a pleasant read for anyone.
