I'm going to shout about this book to friends and colleagues in children's literature. Published in 2018 by Highwater Press, Awâsis and the World Famous Bannock by Dallas Hunt and Amanda Strong is highly recommended!
Selected for AICL's Best Books of 2018
Catchy and delightful, Awâsis and the World-Famous Bannock has a strong plot that propels readers along at a brisk and exciting pace...Awâsis and the World-Famous Bannock is a must-have for all Canadian children's collections.
Highly Recommended.
The writing and illustrations work very well together, making the book both enchanting and educational. Reading and learning from this book is one step that anyone...can make to support this work so that Indigenous languages and concepts will continue to be a vital part of the intellectual life in Canada.
