A group of children of Métis descent share and explore all the ways they celebrate and experience their heritage — enjoying traditional foods like bannock bread and Saskatoon berries; crafting with beads; sharing stories, dance, music and songs. Each child shares a different way they enjoy honoring their backgrounds and weaving parts of the rich tapestry that makes up Métis culture. One child, though, has grown up disconnected from their history, and can't join in with the others in the same way. But they soon see it's never too late to learn, celebrate or become a part of a community in which Métis and non-Métis alike can discover the richness of an often-overlooked culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis rhythmic, jubilant book will encourage young readers of all backgrounds to celebrate their own heritage and learn more about Métis history, and contains back matter including an author's note, recipe and dictionary to further inspire.\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eShortlisted for the 2025 Ruth \u0026amp; Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award\u003cbr\u003eA \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e Best Book of 2024\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA CBC Books Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eWinnipeg Free Press \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[T]his heartwarming story invites readers to embrace their own roots . . .
