Synopsis:
In No Ordinary Camping Trip, Bertha Landrie recounts a tale from her husband, Joe’s, childhood. Many Métis families relied on seasonal employment, working for farmers, clearing fields, picking Seneca root, and other labour jobs to support themselves. In this coming-of-age story, a young Joe works hard picking rocks in order to make money to go to the North Battleford Fair. Will they be able to finish the job in time? Lucille Scott’s evocative illustrations take us back in time while capturing the story’s essence. Michif Old Ones, Irma Klyne and Larry Fayant provide a Southern Michif translation—the language of the Landrie family.

Suitable for grades three to five Social Studies and Language Arts, it supports curricular goals related to Indigenous perspectives, cultural diversity, and belonging, while promoting early bilingual literacy through its inclusion of Michif. Narrations in English and Michif are available through a link provided by the publisher, and supplementary information about the Road Allowance period in Métis history is also provided." - Bonny-Lynn D., Elementary School Teacher, Indigenous Books for Schools
