Book Recommendations

Sarah Andrews, MNW Director of Training, recommends We All Play & Birdsong written and illustrated by Julie Flett. "I absolutely love these two books. Julie Flett is a Cree-Metis author, illustrator, and artist, whose exquisitely illustrated books celebrate the spirituality of everyday life."

Perfect for younger children, We All Play is a joyful romp through the myriad of ways that animals play, and includes Cree phrases and names for each animal in the glossary. For slightly older children, Birdsong gently and lovingly captures deep respect for elders and attunement with nature, as a friendship develops while the seasons change.
