Biindigen! : Amik says welcome

Nancy Cooper
(Juvenile Picture Books - Ej Coo)


Amik’s large beaver family is coming to visit, but his little sister Nishiime feels too shy and hides away, causing Amik and his cousins to search the whole forest for her. When Nishiime finally comes out of hiding, she realizes she has a lot in common with her cousins, even if they live far away. The text includes Anishinaabe words throughout with a glossary in the back. Recommended for ages 3–6.
