"Your little ones will enjoy this story! A little girl--Awâsi--joyfully making her way through the forest to deliver a basket of her grandma's world famous bannock (bread) ... but then, oops!
You might think this is sort of like Little Red Riding Hood but it is definitely not that.
The oops is that the bannock falls out of the basket and the animals she meets along the way, help her by giving her items she'll need to make some more bannock.
Cree words are throughout, which is terrific, and so is Hunt's use of the pronoun, 'they' instead of 'he' or 'she' when Awâsi talks to Ôhô (Owl). Do a search on 'gender neutral pronouns' and you'll see why this is an important shift in the way stories are written (and in your own conversations, too).
Get a copy for yourself and tell your librarian about it. I am confident they will want to get it for the local library. You can help make that happen! Books from small publishers succeed with the help of readers who tell others about them.
There's a lot to love in this book. Five stars, for sure."

There's a lot to love in this book. Five stars, for sure. - As a conscientious book lover, one of the first things before requesting this title was to do a search regarding the author to ensure that this is an Own Voices title; it is not only Own Voices written, it is also Own Voices illustrated, and that is one of the top reasons I believe that this book would make a great addition to any collection, and I strongly encourage my Canadian colleagues to purchase this book.
This is the story of a young child who is sent by her grandmother to deliver a basket of goodies to a relative; however, on her way there, due to her playfulness and enjoyment of being in the forest, she looses the bannock in the river. However, an array of forest friends are there to lend her ingredients to make her grandmother's world-famous bannock. But will she be able to make it on her own?
The book is written in Cree and English; while there are no direct translations within the texts regarding the English translation of the Cree words, there are many visual cues. For example, maskwa is the Cree word for 'bear', and it is used only adjacent to a page with the bear bringing an ingredient for bannock. The author makes a note in the translation and pronunciation guide in the back that this book is written as a fun way to revitalize the Cree language, designed perfectly for those who already know the Cree language and for those who are new to learning the language. In addition, the illustrations are beautifully done, and I hope to see more works as a partnership between Mr. Hunt and Ms. Strong in the future.
