Five Senses for Métis Babies (BB)

Synopsis:

Written and illustrated by award-winning, bestselling Métis author and artist, Leah Marie Dorion. Michif translation by Irma Klyne and Larry Fayant.

Five Senses for Métis Babies, by award-winning, bestselling author, and artist, Leah Marie Dorion, celebrates how we learn our Métis culture through our five senses. As caregivers share authentic and age-appropriate Métis culture, language, music, and heritage, little ones learn about who they are at an early age. It’s never too early to share meaningful cultural experiences with Métis babies so they form a strong sense of Métis identity as they grow up.

Reviews
"Dorion’s board book is a vivid exploration of the five senses for babies and young readers. Not only are the illustrations inviting and engaging for little ones, but the book also teaches about the Michif language. Readers can listen to narrations in English or Michif through a downloadable link to learn even more about the pronunciation of the words in the Michif language. Dorion has written and illustrated many books connected to Métis language and culture, including two other board books. Translators Klyne and Fayant are Métis from road allowance communities in Saskatchewan and are proud Michif speakers." - Lori B., Indigenous Educator & Administrator, Indigenous Books for Schools
