Reviews
A CBC Books Bestseller

"[T]his heartwarming story invites readers to embrace their own roots . . . A joyful story that encourages empathy and affirms identity." --STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

"This joyful, inclusive picture book involves everyone in an introduction to Métis culture. . . . Despite the specificity implied in the title, this is a book for everyone." --STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal

"From Metis to those with different cultures, children will be fascinated with the pictures and also want to try some delicious food highlighted in this book. . . . [Métis Like Me] is not only a great book but a beautiful keepsake of history, culture and an incredible future." --The Baby Spot

"Colourful illustrations by Vancouver-based Risa Hugo depict a welcoming community, and the embossed beadwork on the cover is a tactile invitation to explore Hilderman's text, complete with her recipe for bannock and a glossary of Michif words that combine Cree and Métis French." --Montreal Gazette
