Gift Is in the Making: Anishinaabeg Stories
Gift Is in the Making: Anishinaabeg Stories | Leanne Simpson
7 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The Gift Is in the Making retells previously published Anishinaabeg stories, bringing to life Anishinaabeg values and teachings to a new generation. Readers are immersed in a world where all genders are respected, the tiniest being has influence in the world, and unconditional love binds families and communities to each other and to their homeland. Sprinkled with gentle humour and the Anishinaabe language, this collection of stories speaks to children and adults alike, and reminds us of the timelessness of stories that touch the heart.

This was a pan for me because of the lack of images (Libby never has the accompanying images etc…) things got easily confusing. I look forward to finding more Anishinaabeg stories.

Andrew65 Some audiobooks just do not work for some books, especially where you need images. 3d
CoverToCoverGirl Next! I love audiobooks but for me paper copies are always a win. 3d
DieAReader @Andrew65 ❤️‍🔥This was one of those unfortunately😢 3d
DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl 💯% agree. Unfortunately, there are way too many books that I want to read to only stick to physical. Availability in my little rural town is quite limited so, I‘ve been trying/learning to use the resources open to me😝 without always having to buy. 3d

A great intro page, on gender neutrality / fluidity, in aboriginal stories. 🍁🐺💝

I enjoyed the Anishinaabeg stories, written in educational parts within the language and words; reference notes at the end of each story. Switching at times between gender description is a neat unspecified way of storytelling; Nanabush as the human or ancestor spirit. As a children's book, it comes with fables of respect for nature's ecosystems; also, goofy humours on trying the animal ways. Reading in winter traditions was gratefully honoured. 🦌

I was looking to continue reading The Gift Is In The Making today, which had been checked-out. I'll keep watch for it again, within the traditional winter timeframe; sure to last a while here in Georgina, Ontario. ❄

Bat illustration, from 'The Gift is in the Making', noticed today at the library. By the Northern Ontario honours of sharing in Native wisdom, I'll be revisiting again throughout January; winter is mentioned as the traditional time for storytelling.
