When I'm a Moshom - Hardcover
When I'm a Moshom - Hardcover
by David A. Robertson (Author), Corrie Hill (Illustrator)
This companion to the Governor General's Award-winning picture book On the Trapline is a loving and inspiring ode to grandparents.
When I'm a moshom, a long, long time from now, I will watch my grandchildren dance and play hockey, and I will be the loudest one cheering. I will take them on the trapline and teach them how to fish. I will feed them Bannock and share stories about our community. I will tell them I love them, just like my moshom did. This heartwarming story thoughtfully explores the legacy of love, traditions and heritage passed down from generation to generation. Through the eyes of three siblings and their moshom (grandfather), readers are taken on a journey filled with cherished moments, from cheering at sports events to sharing traditional Cree knowledge and language. This picture book beautifully captures the bonds between grandparents and grandchildren, making it perfect for shared reading and an ideal gift for special occasions like birthdays, holidays or family celebrations. Includes a glossary of Swampy Cree words and an author's note.Author Biography
