Epic Reads: Indigenous Reads
Here’s some EPIC reads I’ve enjoyed this week!
When I Was Eight by Christy Jordan-Fenton, Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. Lemaun does not know how to read. Ignoring her father’s warnings about the outsiders' school, she travels far from her Arctic home to learn.
Not My Girl by Christy Jordan-Fenton, Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, illustrated by Gabrielle Grimard. Margaret's years at school have changed her. She has forgotten her language and the skills to hunt and fish.
My Heart Fills With Happiness / Nijiikendam by Monique Gray Smith, illustrated by: Julie Flett. A dual-language book that celebrates happiness and reflects on the little things in life that bring joy, in English and Anishinaabemowin.
