A trapline is where people hunt and live off the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather, \"Is this your trapline?\" Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life was like two generations ago -- a life that appears to be both different from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to places and stories that hold meaning for his family.\u003cb\u003eWINNER of the 2021 Governor General’s Literary Award for Young People’s Literature — Illustrated Books!\u003cbr\u003eWINNER of the 2022 TD Canadian Children's Literature Award!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed one of \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e's Caldenott Books (2021)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA CCBC Best Book for Kids and Teens, Fall 2021 — Starred Pick\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eHorn Book\u003c\/i\u003e 2021 Best Kids Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eA New York Public Library Best Book for Kids (2021)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Canadian Children's Book Centre Favourite Book of the Year (2021)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire \u003c\/i\u003eKids' Book of the Year (2021)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAn American Indians in Children’s Literature      Best Book of 2021\u003cbr\u003eAn Evanston Public Library Blueberry List pick\u003cbr\u003eAn Ontario Library Association Top Ten Best Picture Book selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“An outstanding contribution to the literature about family, intergenerational friendship, remembrance, community, Indigenous experience, and more.”  \u003cb\u003e—STARRED REVIEW, \u003ci\u003eThe Horn Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Robertson’s text is as spare as Flett’s artwork, leaving plenty of space for readers to feel the emotions evoked by both.” \u003cb\u003e—STARRED REVIEW, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A deeply affecting journey of memory and history.” \u003cb\u003e—STARRED REVIEW, \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“This second collaboration between the Governor-General’s Award-winning writer-illustrator team — who share common Cree ancestry — focuses on the connection between a boy and his moshom (grandpa) as they travel by plane, foot and boat to the northern wilderness, where a young moshom once lived off the land with his family.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There are many lessons to be learned in this gentle story about intergenerational respect and relationships, both with people and the land.\" \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eCanadian Children’s Book Centre\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A] powerful story well told in an understated manner.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eCM: Canadian Review of Materials\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“\u003ci\u003eOn the Trapline\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning picture book that highlights Indigenous values, including the deep connections to family and the land.” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Mutually Inclusive\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAVID A.
