A group of children of Métis descent welcome you into their world of traditions. Bannock and saskatoon berries are must-haves for many. Others delights in beading. Still more share song, stories, and dance. Together, the children show some of the many ways Métis culture is celebrated and passed along in families.
However, one child has grown up more disconnected from their history, and isn’t sure how to join in with the others at first. In time, they discover that it’s never too late to learn, to join in, and to find belonging in a welcoming community.
With rhythm, joy, and togetherness on every page, this story encourages all of us, Métis and non-Métis alike, to celebrate our roots while discovering the beauty of Métis traditions.
