Book Synopsis

Spring is here! Join Joshua and his mom as they prepare for a niska feast in this read-aloud story for ages 5 to 8.

The ice is melting, the animals are stirring, and the niskak (geese) are returning to the northern skies. After a long winter, Joshua and his family are looking forward to the first niska (goose) feast of the season! Joshua helps his mom pluck feathers, roast the niska, and bake oven bannock. It's hard work, but he's proud to learn about his family's traditional foods and the Spirit Plate they offer to give thanks.

Experience time on the land with Joshua and his family while learning new words in Omushkegomowin (Swampy Cree language) and Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe language).Includes a glossary and pronunciation guide in the back of the book, as well as a recipe for Kokum's Oven Bannock with Dried Blueberries.
