Christmas Book Review - An Anishinaabe Christmas

I am so happy to share with you another book from Penguin Random House which is sure to be a book the children you love will want you to read to them again and again! An Anishinaabe Christmas by Wab Kinew and illustrated by Erin Hill has a wonderful story about family, tradition, heritage, and Christmas!

Favorite Features -

• I love the illustrations and the children you love will love them as well!
• The story is all about family, tradition, heritage, and love - what isn't to love about this!
• I am so happy to see the pronunciation guide in the back - the children you love will enjoy learning a few Native American words!

Penguin Random House says, "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 baby is worried! Baby has 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?"

I LOVE this story and how it connects heritage, traditions, holidays, and family. If you give books to the children you love for Christmas, then take a good look at An Anishinaabe Christmas - you will find it at this link.
