Reviews
"Concise and tender book…A loving portrait of nimoshom as a way to introduce basic Cree vocabulary."--The Horn Book
"Nimoshom and His Bus offers an empowering approach to activating language for families who already use elements of Cree at home, but may not think of themselves as fluent. It also serves as a strong introduction to the language for anyone looking to learn more or teach their children."--Julie Schillo and Mark Turin, Cree Language in Contemporary Cildren's Literature
