It is an interactive book, written to music (included) and is appropriate for grades kindergarten through 5. I shared this book as well as my other 2 books for children, entitled Pepere Played the Fiddle and The Bannock Book with the children of John de Graff School last week and am slated to share them with the classes at Hampstead School on the 24th of Feb. If you are interested, you will be able to obtain copies at Hampstead School the day of the presentations. Thanks for taking the time to read this suggiestion.

I do not know of any 'baby books' per se on Metis culture but do check out the Pemmican website as they would be the publisher to publish something like that if such books were to exist. The other place to make inquiries about good books about aboriginal heritage would be the Winnipeg public library children's department: http://wpl.winnipeg.ca/library/backpages/kidsparents.asp Sally Congratulations, Liz, on the impending arrival.

Our first grandchild is about to enter the world and will be a mix of Uk, Dutch and Metis. I want to learn about his Metis heritage so that I can pass it on when he visits us and help him to learn about it equally with his other heritages. Are there any baby books? Thanks. Liz Hi Sally,

I had never heard of this area of Canadian culture - and have really enjoyed following up on all your links, especially learning about the Michif language. Pemmican Publications are obviously doing valuable work to keep the language and culture alive for future generations... This is so interesting, Sally.
