Written from an Anishinaabe water protector's perspective, the book is in dual language: English and Anishinaabemowin.

Reviews

"Like many board books, Nibi is Water = nibi aawon nbiish will assist youngsters in increasing their vocabulary, but this time, not in one but two languages. Perhaps more importantly, the board book provides an early introduction to the concept of caring for one of the world's most important resources."

--Dave Jenkinson "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"

"Robertson's book is about water and the many ways that a child experiences it. You can swim or bathe in it, you can drink it, you can use it to wash your clothes... But Robertson reminds us that we need to care for it, that we have to respect, love, and protect it because, as the final page tells us, water is life."

--Debbie Reese
