An Anishinaabe Christmas
An Anishinaabe Christmas | Wab Kinew
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
A festive, joyful Indigenous picture book that explores both Christmas traditions and Anishinaabe culture, for fans of Santa in the City and Go Show the World. One winter solstice, Mommy says, "Baby, we're going home to the Rez. We're going to have an Anishinaabe Christmas." But this is Baby's first Christmas away from the city, and they're worried! They have a lot of questions: How will Santa know where to find them? Why do we have presents on Christmas? How come they're going home to the Rez but don't live there? On the long trip to Mooshom's and Kookom's, Baby learns about animals being part of their family, about the North Star leading them home and even the meanings of some Anishinaabe words. Will this Anishinaabe Christmas be Baby's best yet?

This is a beautifully illustrated story about Baby‘s first Christmas on the Rez. It teaches a few Anishinaabe words and has a sweet story about family, the joy of giving, and that home is not just where you live, but also where you come from. The art is lovely and I appreciated the pronunciation guide at the back.

LeahBergen I‘ve heard of this one! It looks wonderful. 44m
